 The controversial former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has harbored strong resentment towards his ex-quarterback.

 But he seemed to choose the moral high ground during a recent podcast appearance.


 Brown and Brady were momentarily co-partners on the
 New England Patriots
 prior to reuniting at Tampa Bay and claiming victory
 Super Bowl
 title.


 However, they have not gotten along well since Brown had a fit during a match against the
 New York Jets
 Where he lost control on the sideline and took nearly all of his equipment off.


 Allegedly, Brady sent a text message to Brown following the incident, stating: "Your actions show extremely poor judgment and deficient communication skills to all those individuals who have strived tirelessly to assist you."


 Following that incident, Brown initiated several attacks towards Brady, which included allegations of him being an inadequate parent and suggesting that he had an affair with the quarterback's former spouse.

 Although it was an uncomfortable conclusion to the matter, this followed Brown apologizing to Brady via social media in the previous year.


 Brown posted on his X account about a phone conversation he had with Brady, during which he apologized to the seven-time Super Bowl winner.


 
 "You enabled my success. You picked me up from the ground when I was down, champ. Assisted me in becoming a champion. Supported me in being part of something extraordinary, watching you excel both as a leader and an individual. I always appreciated those qualities," stated the ex-wide receiver.
 


 He said, "I can’t go on without making sure you understand this as a fellow man. I have nothing but the highest regard for you, and I am seeking your pardon."


 Brady has not made any public statements regarding Brown's remarks.

 Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, emerged as the key figure in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 match against Liverpool by making two crucial penalty saves. However, he faced criticism following the initial loss in the first leg with a scoreline of 0-1. Here is an excerpt from his
 
 
 beIN SPORTS
 
 
 During an interview set to air this coming Saturday, the Italian goaltender discussed his psychological condition spanning from the first leg to the second leg.
 

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Donnarumma: “Everyone was confident”.
</h2>

 
 What happens inside your mind from the time of the first match against Liverpool, when everybody is angry with you, to the second match when you become the great hero?
 

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 
 The following day after the initial match, I was certain we would play another game and emerge victorious. Everyone seemed filled with confidence, and I believe this mindset played a crucial role in our success during the return fixture.
 
</blockquote>

 Obviously, the UEFA Champions League and its thrilling encounters are determined mentally. If Paris Saint-Germain managed to outshine Liverpool, it was due to their unwavering confidence throughout the match—from start to finish—that they would advance. They also gave their all during these crucial games.


 This mindset has energized the team since January, evident from their 4-2 win against Manchester City. This same attitude will help PSG aspire to accomplish their primary goal in this tournament.

 Nuno Mendes, a 22-year-old full-back who plays for both Paris Saint-Germain and Portugal, was the guest of Alexandre Ruiz.
 
 
 Free Ligue 1
 
 
 He discussed his initial years in the profession, his transition to Sporting Lisbon, and subsequently his shift to PSG.
 

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes "He used to teach at my school, and he noticed me playing there."
</h2>

 
 You held the position of number 10, and the tale tells us that you requested the jersey with the number 10 yourself. Is this accurate?
 


 It’s true, it’s true.


 
 Tell us about it.
 


 These are fond recollections, as this club really knows me well. In this picture here, you can see a teacher from my old school; he watched me play there. He brought me to the club, and I ended up signing with them.


 
 At Despertar?
 


 Yes, that’s right.


 
 Your coach mentioned you were shy, and you requested from him only one thing – the number 10. Why was that?
 


 I'm not sure why, but I noticed that all the top players had jersey number 10. So, I told them, "I want number 10." At that point, I wasn't playing as a left-back anymore, so I simply requested to wear the number 10.


 
 Whom among the players did you find impressive back then?
 


 There were many players, including Messi, all those who had the number 10 jersey back then.


 
 What emotions come up for you when you see your initial license here?
 


 It's a lovely recollection. It marked my first appearance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "I was out on the streets with my mates when that teacher you introduced me to brought me to the club."
</h2>

 
 Have you always dreamed of becoming a footballer?
 


 Absolutely, all the time. However, I wasn't actively seeking out a club. My friends and I were hanging around the streets when it was that same teacher whom you pointed out who led me to join the club. He happened to be my gym instructor, and he would transport me to practice sessions using his vehicle before dropping me home afterward. This routine continued daily following school hours.


 
 Was his name Bruno?
 


 His name was Bruno.


 
 Does he take you for a two-hour drive every day?
 


 Certainly, but not daily; it was only on three days each week.


 
 Were you wearing that blue shirt?
 


 Sure, but I didn’t have any shoes, see? Somebody loaned them to me.


 
 Whose shoes are they?
 


 The shoes belong to me; they were given to me by my teammate’s mom, specifically the captain’s mother. All I wanted were some shoes to play with in the streets since I didn’t have any at all.


 
 So your team leader’s mother handed over his shoes to you as a present?
 


 Indeed, you're correct; his name is Fabio.


 
 Is he still considered a friend?
 


 No.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "I make an effort to spare some time for that."
</h2>

 
 How do you stand in relation to the club?
 


 I make an effort to spare some time and visit the place. To check out their current situation ((looks at the picture)), however, previously, there wasn't any synthetic material; instead, there was something I can't quite describe—it was like dirt.


 
 Are you playing a season there?
 


 One month, one month.


 
 In just one month, Sporting Lisbon comes searching for you?
 


 Yes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes "When I opened the door, what awaited me was a knife."
</h2>

 
 What led Sporting to seek you out?
 


 It happened during a tournament. The person who took me to Sporting noticed me. He mentioned wanting to speak with me, yet at that point, I wasn't aware of his identity. He stated, "I represent Sporting; I came specifically to watch you play, and I really liked your style." After the game, we did not cross paths again.


 It was a story I've recounted numerous times. That particular day, while I was at school, I stepped out for some reason. He trailed me back to my house and rang the bell. Honestly, I had no clue who he was. When I answered the door, all I saw was a knife. Then, he reassured me saying, "Don't be afraid; I'm just here as a Sports Recruiter."


 
 Who is this man?
 


 His name is Aderita. At Sporting, he would assist players who had very little. He'd provide them with cards to purchase food at the shops.


 
 Was he some sort of patron?
 


 Yes, he was.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes "Pretty much everything, as Sporting provided me with all I needed."
</h2>

 
 He oversaw several underprivileged young individuals.
 


 Certainly, that’s accurate. Take, for instance, the case of my associate named Benjamin. He provided us with this. We felt quite delighted about it.


 
 Are you aware of everything that happened today?
 


 Yes, I understand everything. Even though he passed away today, he was aware that I admired him and he supported me greatly.


 
 How do you feel about sporting events?
 


 Nearly everything, since Sporting bestowed upon me all these things. They have been instrumental in my life both on and off the field. They provided immense support. There was an individual who, during my time at Sporting, would take me home daily.


 I would ride the bus for my training sessions, and afterward, he'd drive me back home because it had become quite late. Our practice started at 6 p.m., and once we finished, typically about 9 p.m., it was too late to catch the bus again.


 I was too young back then, which is why he would always bring me along with him. Nowadays, I occasionally chat with him, and his name is Senhor Vicente. That’s how we addressed him in those days. In the past, he would often take both me and some of my coworkers home.


 
 Is a lucky star hovering above you?
 


 Absolutely, that's the top priority for me. Each day, these memories stay with me. Whether I'm out on the field or celebrating significant victories, I recall everyone who supported me along the way. It brings me great joy knowing they share this happiness with me as well.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "I had no hesitation. I put my signature down. There were only 2 minutes remaining before the transfer window closed."
</h2>

 
 How was your joining ceremony with PSG?
 


 I participated in the selection process. At the final moment, after speaking with my agent, I informed him of my desire to someday play for Paris Saint-Germain.


 
 Did you really?
 


 Sure, and thus he informed me just moments before that PSG had shown interest in me. Without hesitation, I agreed to sign. With only 2 minutes remaining until the transfer window closed, we managed to pull through. Here I stand now.


 
 Apakah kamu masih ingat dengan perasaan yang kamu alami ketika menandatangani kontrak itu?
 


 It was not good because I was focused on the selection process. I believe this was my first call-up with the Portuguese national team. However, after I left, I moved on to something different, went to a different country. I think I did quite well afterwards.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "It's a fantastic club, everyone knows that."
</h2>

 
 What made you decide to join PSG, and how significant was this move for you?
 


 This means a great deal. Many players whom I've observed have emerged from this place. Numerous outstanding athletes have been part of its legacy, and I was eager to contribute to that tradition as well as become an integral member of the club. We're all aware of what an excellent institution it is. Since joining, my focus has shifted towards maintaining momentum moving forward.


 
 Is it not a simple task at PSG, but do you sense yourself as part of the Paris Saint-Germain narrative?
 


 Sure, you might put it that way, step by step. It’s not complete just yet, but gradually, I am attempting to etch my presence into this club, and I believe I'm heading in the correct direction. My teammates are exceptional players; they assist me daily. In my view, I must continue moving forward to leave an indelible impression on this club.


 
 If you encountered your future self 10 years from now, young boy, what would you tell him?
 


 Perhaps I'd let him know that he has picked the correct route. That he finds himself in an advantageous position and should continue forward as this merely marks the start of his journey. There remains quite a distance for him to cover within the realm of soccer.


 
 Would you consider purchasing a pair of shoes for him?
 


 Sure, 1 2 3. No problem at all (haha).

 Enzo Maresca
 toasted
 Chelsea
 's 1-0
 Premier League
 victory over
 Tottenham
 with a glass of wine from
 Lionel Messi
 's new collection.


 Lionel Messi's unexpected foray into wine production led to the creation of two exclusive and premium wines, namely Syrah and Primitivo, each labeled with the emblem "GOAT 10."


 The wines boast exceptional quality, being sourced solely from Italy’s Campania, Puglia, and Sicily regions through an exclusive partnership with MM Winemaker.


 Maresca's side boosted their
 Champions League
 hopes following defeating their competitors, the Argentine team captain
 Enzo Fernandez
 scoring the winner.


 Appropriately, the wine Maresca was shown relishing following their victory at Stamford Bridge is the Syrah, a grape variety with Italian origins but featuring Argentinean influences.


 It's the same model that was recently spotted in Lionel Messi's possession.

 Every bottle pays homage to Messi’s legacy and includes exclusive, never-before-seen drawings of the legendary player.


 The designs come out in seasonal collections and are accessible for a restricted period only.


 In the meantime, Messi is close to taking over as Inter Miami’s all-time leading scorer in terms of goal involvement and will go past his ex-national teammate, Gonzalo Higuain.


 The previous weekend saw Messi netting a goal as Inter Miami secured a 2–1 victory against Philadelphia Union, which also marked his 23rd goal since joining the MLS squad.


 Alongside his 20 assists, Messi has been involved in a total of 43 goals for the team, matching Higuaín's tally.

Brad Marchand Makes a Bold Move Before Free Agency!

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CkfAv" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CkfAv.jpg"/>

 Many supporters have only recently begun adjusting to Brad Marchand wearing a Florida Panthers' uniform, and now they're already discussing the possibility of him becoming an unrestricted free agent in July. Numerous teams are showing interest, including previous speculation about the Toronto Maple Leafs, but Marchand’s recent remarks regarding his upcoming free agency took much of the fanbase by surprise.


 Luke Fox from Sportsnet gave an update on Friday regarding 12 sought-after free agents, which included Marchand. According to him, the seasoned forward and ex-captain of the Boston Bruins isn’t giving any thought to whatever may lie ahead in his career.


 
 I'm completely unconcerned about what happens next year,
 
 Marchand stated on April 1st.
 
 In this sport, within this league, you must cherish each day and find joy in it. You can’t predict when you might have another chance to join a team as remarkable as this one.
 


 Marchand appears to be concentrating on the present moment and his desire to assist the Panthers in securing consecutive championship titles this postseason.


 Perhaps then, he'll consider the choices laid out before him. To be honest, I don't envision Marchand retiring from hockey anytime soon, and I'm sure numerous clubs will step forward with tempting offers for his services.


 Others suggest Marchand might rejoin the Bruins, a possibility he had earlier mentioned:


 
 I suppose my answer would be 'I don't know.' I can't predict how things will unfold during summer. It's clear that it hasn't worked out at present. Could circumstances evolve later on? Possibly, but only time will tell.
 


 The previous month, the Bruins couldn't finalize an extension before the deadline, so the team opted to take action. Reports indicated that both Boston and Marchand managed to reach consensus on the terms for a potential extension; however, they had differing views regarding the average annual value (AAV).


 Every time Marchand begins contemplating the upcoming season, numerous possible contenders will likely make contact should he become available as a free agent this summer. Do you think the Bruins will be among those teams?

How a Rivalry Clash Between Kano Clubs Jeopardizes a Young Footballer’s Future

Unknown football clubs, football players, news, soccer, sports

The fledging career of a young Kano-born football player, Suleiman Yusuf Abdullahi, is under threat due to a protracted misunderstanding between two clubs that are claiming his ownership.
 
 
 Proline FC Kano where he started his career as an amateur and Future Star also of Kano are at loggerheads over which club will receive the mandatory training compensation for Yusuf who is presently trying out with clubs in Europe courtesy of City FC Abuja.
 
 
 Daily Trust gathered that Yusuf started out with Proline when the club was called Tukuntawa FC. Along the line, he left to join Geida FC without the consent of his former club.
 
 
 The owner of Proline FC, Capt. Al-Mustapha Yunusa, then wrote a petition to the Kano Football Association against Geida FC on 29th September 2021 alleging illegal takeover of their player.
 
 
 While issue was yet to be resolved, it was gathered that Geida FC released Yusuf to Future Star who in turn sent him to City FC Abuja where he gained the attention of foreign agents during a scouting tournament.
 
 
 City FC then facilitated his trip to Europe for trials but while he was on the verge of signing a contract, the process was stalled because of the claims of Proline and Future Star.
 
 
 Meanwhile, oblivious of the contentious issue between the two clubs, City FC is said to have entered into a verbal agreement to release the training compensation grant to Future Star FC.
 
 
 'The problems started when he went for a scouting program without our approval. While trying to secure a deal in Europe for him, it was discovered that the transfer couldn't go through because he is still our player.
 
 
 'The same Geida were responsible for entering into a deal with another club, Future Star FC, without completing his clearance with us,' said a Proline official.
 
 
 However, in an interview with Kabir Haruna Mawutta, the proprietor of Geida FC, he said Yusuf has been under his care since he left Proline FC.
 
 
 'We cared for him, and our goal has always been for him to succeed. He joined my club after some disagreements with Proline. I then officially released him on 1st July 2022 to Future Star FC when they showed interest in him.'
 
 
 On his part, Abdul Rahman Umar Abdullahi, the proprietor of Capital City FC Abuja believes he followed due process in obtaining Yusuf's services, following an agreement with Future Star FC.
 
 
 'Suleiman joined us after an agreement with Future Star FC was reached. I invested in his future and moved him to Denmark for trials, then to Malta,' he said.
 
 
 'When we tried to get the ITC (International Transfer Certificate) for the player, Proline claimed ownership and had already filed a petition with the NFF.
 
 
 'Eventually, the NFF ruled that the player belonged to us, Capital City, but the matter is still unresolved.
 
 
 'However, Proline and Future Star need to resolve their issues before the transfer can be finalised. Until then, the player cannot be officially transferred.'
 
 
 Meanwhile, Faizu Aliyu Hamza, the chairman of Future Star, has said they followed due process to acquire Yusuf from Geida FC.
 
 
 He also denied having any knowledge of Yusuf's ties with Proline FC until when the player's transfer issues arose after he left for international trials.
 
 
 However, in a document cited by our reporter, the Kano Football Association, on 31st August 2023, wrote to the General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to formally introduce Yusuf Suleiman Abdullahi as a player of Tukuntawa FC, now called Proline FC.
 
 
 When contacted, the Kano FA scribe, Shehu Buhari, said based on his understanding of the case, the player belongs to Proline in Kano but was later confirmed as a player of City FC by the NFF.
 
 
 'From Capital City, there was an argument in Abuja, so the NFF wanted clearance from the FA in Kano, whether the player belongs to Future Star or Tukuntawa or Geida.
 
 
 'We made inquiries, and I personally wrote to Abuja that he is a player of Tukuntawa, presently known as Proline as it is on FIFA connect. So, Geida and Future Star are out of contention,' he said.
 
 
 However, due to the ongoing disagreement between Proline and Future Star FC, Capital City has not entered into any formal agreement with either party despite the ruling by the NFF.
 
 
 For now, the future of Yusuf's football career is bleak as the two clubs contend over his ownership. This has been the trend in Nigerian football when players' clearance and transfers are often muddled by personal interests and a lack of transparency.

 The controversial ex-NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has had strong animosity towards his former quarterback.
 Tom Brady
 . However, he seemed to choose the moral high ground during a recent podcast appearance.


 Brown and Brady were short-term teammates on the
 New England Patriots
 prior to reuniting at Tampa Bay and claiming victory
 Super Bowl
 title.


 However, they have not been on good terms since Brown had a meltdown during a match against the
 New York Jets
 Where he lost control on the side lines and took nearly all of his equipment off.


 Allegedly, Brady sent a message to Brown via text following the incident, stating, "Your actions are showcasing extremely bad judgment and miscommunication to numerous individuals who have strived exceedingly hard to assist you."


 Following that, Brown initiated several attacks towards Brady — which included allegations of him being an inadequate parent and suggesting that Brown had an affair with the quarterback's former spouse.

 However, during a recent livestream with Adin Ross, Brown was once more questioned about her relationship with Bundchen.

 Brown barely managed to contain his laughter before replying, "I've already jumped over that one."


 Although it was an uncomfortable conclusion to the matter, this followed Brown apologizing to Brady on social media in the previous year.


 Brown posted about a phone conversation he had with Brady on his X account, where he extended an apology to the seven-time Super Bowl winner.


 
 "You aided my success. You picked me up when I was down, champ. Assisted me in becoming a champion. Enabled me to be part of something extraordinary, seeing your leadership and personal excellence. I always valued these moments, buddy," stated the ex-wide receiver.
 


 He stated, "I can’t go on without making sure you understand this as a fellow human being. I have nothing but the highest regard for you, and I am seeking your pardon."


 Brady has never made any public statements regarding Brown's comments.

Donnarumma Reveals Key Factor Behind Victory Over Liverpool

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmMht" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmMht.jpg"/>

 
 Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, emerged as the key figure in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 match against Liverpool by making two crucial penalty saves. However, he faced criticism following the initial loss in the first leg with a scoreline of 0-1. Here is an excerpt from his story:
 
 
 beIN SPORTS
 
 
 In an interview set to air this coming Saturday, the Italian goaltender discussed his psychological condition leading up to the second leg after the initial match.
 

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Donnarumma: “Everyone was confident”.
</h2>

 
 What happens inside your mind from the time of the first match against Liverpool, when everybody is angry with you, to the second match when you become the great savior?
 

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 
 The following day after the initial match, I was certain we would play another game and emerge victorious. Everyone seemed confident in our chances, and I believe this mindset played a crucial role in our success during the subsequent encounter.
 
</blockquote>

 Obviously, victories in the UEFA Champions League and crucial Champions League encounters are determined mentally. If Paris Saint-Germain managed to outperform Liverpool, it was due to their unwavering confidence from start to finish, with each player giving their all without reservation.


 This mindset has energized the team since January and was evident in their 4-2 win against Manchester City. This same attitude will allow PSG to aspire to their primary goal in the tournament, which continues to be their top priority.

 Nuno Mendes, a 22-year-old full-back who plays for both Paris Saint-Germain and the Portuguese national team, was the guest of Alexandre Ruiz.
 
 
 Free Ligue 1
 
 
 He discussed his initial years in the profession, his transition to Sporting Lisbon, and subsequently his shift to PSG.
 

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes "He used to teach at my school, and he noticed me playing there."
</h2>

 
 Were you number 10, and is it correct that you requested the number 10 yourself? The tale suggests this is how it happened.
 


 It’s true, it’s true.


 
 Tell us about it.
 


 These are fond recollections; the club truly understood me. In this picture here, you can see a teacher from my old school who watched me play. He brought me to the club, and before long, I had signed up.


 
 At Despertar?
 


 Yes, that’s right.


 
 Your coach mentioned that you seemed reserved, and you requested from him only one thing – the number 10. Can you explain why?
 


 I'm not sure why, but I noticed that all the top players were wearing jersey number 10. So, I told them, "I want number 10." At that point, I wasn't positioned as a left-back, so I simply requested to wear the number 10.


 
 Which player did you find impressive back then?
 


 Many players wore the number 10 jersey back then; everyone from Messi onwards was included.


 
 What emotions come up for you when you see your initial license here?
 


 It's a lovely recollection. It marked my first appearance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "I was out with my mates when that teacher you introduced me to brought me to the club."
</h2>

 
 Have you always dreamed of becoming a footballer?
 


 Certainly, all the time. However, I wasn't searching for a club; instead, I spent time hanging out on the streets with my buddies. It was actually that same teacher who introduced us to this place—he’s my gym instructor—and he would bring me back to the club regularly. After classes ended each day, I'd go there almost daily. The teacher would pick me up in his vehicle and drive me over for practice before dropping me home afterward.


 
 Was his name Bruno?
 


 His name was Bruno.


 
 Does he take you for a two-hour drive every day?
 


 Yes, however, it wasn't an everyday occurrence; it happened only three days each week.


 
 Were you wearing that blue shirt?
 


 Sure, but I didn’t have any shoes, see? Somebody loaned them to me.


 
 Whose shoes are they?
 


 They belong to me, they were given to me, but actually, it was another teammate’s mom—the captain’s mom—who handed them over. I simply needed some shoes to play with in the street; I didn’t own any.


 
 So Captain's mother handed over his shoes to you as a present?
 


 Yes, you're correct, his name is Fabio.


 
 Is he still considered a friend?
 


 No.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes says, "I make an effort to spare some time for that."
</h2>

 
 How do you relate to the club?
 


 I make an effort to visit occasionally. To check out their current state, (he glances at the picture), however, previously, there wasn't any synthetic material; instead, there was something I can't quite describe—it was like dirt.


 
 Do you participate in a season there?
 


 One month, one month.


 
 A month later and Sporting Lisbon comes searching for you?
 


 Yes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes "When I opened the door, what awaited me was a knife."
</h2>

 
 What led Sporting to show interest in you?
 


 It happened during a tournament. The person who took me to Sporting noticed me. They mentioned wanting to speak with me, though I wasn't aware of their identity at the time. They stated, "I represent Sporting; I came specifically to watch you play because I admire your style." After the game concluded, I did not encounter this individual once more.


 It’s a story I have recounted numerous times. That particular day, as usual, I found myself at school where I stepped out for some reason. To my surprise, he trailed me all the way back home and rang the doorbell. At first, his identity remained unknown to me. As soon as I opened the door, however, what greeted me was a knife. Subsequently, he reassured me saying, "There's nothing to fear; I'm just here representing the Sports Recruitment Team."


 
 Who is this man?
 


 His name is Aderita. At Sporting, he helped players with limited means. He would provide them with vouchers to purchase meals at the shops.


 
 Was he some sort of patron?
 


 Yes, he was.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes " Almost everything, as Sporting provided me with everything."
</h2>

 
 He oversaw several underprivileged young individuals?
 


 Certainly, that’s accurate. Take for instance, a friend of mine named Benjamin. He provided this to us. We felt quite delighted about it.


 
 Are you aware of everything happening today?
 


 Yes, I understand everything. Even though he passed away today, he was aware that I admired him and he supported me greatly.


 
 What significance does Sporting hold for you?
 


 Nearly everything, since Sporting provided me with everything. They have gone above and beyond for me, both on and off the field. They offered tremendous support. There was this individual who, during my time at Sporting, would drive me home daily.


 I would ride the bus for my training sessions, but afterward, he'd drive me back home because it got quite late. Training started at 6 p.m., and once we finished, it was about 9 p.m., which made taking the bus impractical.


 I was too young back then, so he would always bring me along with him. Nowadays, I occasionally chat with him, and his name is Senhor Vicente. That’s how we addressed him. In those days, he would often transport me and some coworkers back home.


 
 Is a lucky star shining upon you?
 


 Absolutely, that's the top priority for me. These are memories I cherish daily. Whether I'm out on the field or celebrating significant victories, I recall everyone who supported me along the way. It brings me great joy knowing they share my happiness as well.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "I had no hesitation. I put my signature down. With only two minutes remaining before the transfer window closed."
</h2>

 
 How was your signing with PSG?
 


 I made it to the shortlist. However, at the final moment, after discussing with my agent, I expressed my desire to eventually play for Paris Saint-Germain.


 
 Did you really?
 


 Sure, and thus he informed me just moments before that PSG had shown interest in me. Without hesitation, I agreed to sign. With only two minutes remaining until the transfer window closed, we managed to pull through. Here I am now.


 
 Do you remember the emotion you felt when signing that contract?
 


 It was not good because I was focused on the selection process. I believe this was my first call-up with the Portuguese national team. However, after I left, I moved on to something different in another country. I think I did quite well there.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">
 Nuno Mendes said, "It's a fantastic club, something everyone is aware of."
</h2>

 
 What made you decide to join PSG, and how significant was this opportunity to you?
 


 This means a great deal. Many players whom I've observed have passed through this place. Numerous outstanding athletes, and I aspired to become a part of that legacy, a member of that esteemed organization. We all recognize what an excellent club it is. Since joining now, my aim is to continue moving forward.


 
 Is it not a simple task at PSG, yet do you sense yourself as part of the Paris Saint-Germain narrative?
 


 Sure, you might put it this way, step by step. It’s not complete just yet, but gradually, I am attempting to etch my presence into this club, and I believe I'm heading in the right direction. My teammates are exceptional players; they assist me daily. I feel I must continue moving forward to solidify my impact here.


 
 If you encountered your younger self 10 years from now, young boy, what would you tell him?
 


 Perhaps I would let him know that he has picked the correct route. That he finds himself in an advantageous position and should continue forward as this is merely the start. There remains quite a journey ahead of him in the world of soccer.


 
 Would you consider purchasing a pair of shoes for him?
 


 Sure, 1 2 3. No problem at all (haha).

Isak Injury Update: How Newcastle United's Win Over Brentford Affects Their Forward Line

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CblzZ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CblzZ.jpg"/>

 Eddie Howe
 has confirmed that
 Alexander Isak
 was forced off during
 Newcastle
 United’s 2-1 win against
 Brentford
 on Wednesday evening because of a groin injury.


 Isak scored first at St James' Park right as halftime approached, but Bryan Mbuemo equalized for Brentford with a penalty kick in the 66th minute.


 However, Newcastle sealed the win thanks to Sandro Tonali’s goal, placing Howe’s team in fifth position in the Premier League, just one point below fourth-place Manchester City.


 Meanwhile, Isak has netted 20 goals in the Premier League this season, but the Swedish forward is currently dealing with a groin problem as Newcastle prepares for their upcoming Premier League game against Leicester City on Monday night.


 'In this league, you're characterized by your ability to score goals, and your offensive players must embrace that responsibility,' Howe stated following Newcastle’s victory over Brentford.

 'I believe Isak has handled that incredibly well since his arrival.'


 'It’s not an easy task. I don’t believe this was one of his best performances, and I’m sure he won’t be shocked hearing my opinion. However, he managed to find himself in the perfect spot when needed. Perhaps he had some fortune with how he finished, yet he has been reliably finding those key positions every time.'


 'I believe that on a different day, he might have scored additional goals, but I don't think he was completely fit. This is why we decided to take him off.'


 We're hoping it isn't anything major, but he just wasn't at full strength in his groin area. His movements were slightly hesitant, which is why we decided to take him out.


 Howe also disclosed that Kieran Tierney, who was replaced near the end of the match against Brentford, is dealing with a groin issue as well.


 "He mentioned it felt similar to a cramping sensation in his groin," Howe stated.


 'We're hoping it's not too serious, but that's the concern for now. We've got some minor issues, and we simply wish they aren't anything grave. Our team roster is quite limited as evident from our substitutes' bench, so we cannot risk getting any additional players injured.'

 The quarterback room doesn't have to be concerned with switching jersey numbers for the 2025 season.


 Despite No. 3 having been used by third-year cornerback Deonte Banks during the previous season, both parties appear to have reached some form of understanding allowing the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback to sport this number throughout his career.


 Wilson provided Banks, who was once a top-first round selection,

Liverpool Weigh Decision on Newcastle's Alexander Isak Price Tag

 Liverpool are one of the clubs very interested in a summer move for Alexander Isak, although it will not be easy to prise him away from Newcastle, who have zero intention of letting their star striker move away from St James’ Park.


 Liverpool are anticipated to bring in a new forward when the summer transfer window opens, likely at the expense of moving Darwin Nunez elsewhere. The sporting director, Richard Hughes, has pinpointed Isak as a top priority for the team, and recent developments suggest that securing this player may become more feasible now that Arsenal seems to have withdrawn from contention for him, shifting their focus instead towards different targets.
 turn your attention to his global teammate Viktor Gyökeres
 .


 Nevertheless, this increase barely contributes to reaching an accord with Newcastle, as they are completely unwilling to part ways with Isak. This is due to their established minimum selling price of £150 million.

<h2>
 Liverpool will not meet the £150m valuation for Alexander Isak.
</h2>

 It has now reportedly come to light that
 The Athletic
 Liverpool are "very improbable" to break their club-record transfer spending by matching this amount during anticipated talks with Newcastle. Consequently, they must either reduce the asking price from the Carabao Cup champions or explore alternative options, possibly involving players who appeal to Eddie Howe.


 Recently, reports suggest that Newcastle have shown interest in players such as Jarell Quansah and Harvey Elliott. If Liverpool were considering including these players in a deal, it could reduce the required amount to something more manageable.


 Even so, it is evident that Newcastle does not plan to offer many concessions to teams showing interest in Isak, particularly those from the Premier League. As such, Liverpool faces an uphill battle if they hope to secure him during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Florida's Desmond Watson: Could He Become the Heaviest NFL Draft Pick Ever at 464 Pounds?

Unknown american football, football, football players, nfl, sports

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BNjI8" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BNjI8.jpg"/>

 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Given all that colossal defensive lineman Desmond Watson demonstrated at Florida’s pro day, perhaps his most noteworthy accomplishment was departing the training complex unnoticed.


 Somehow, this 6-foot-6, 464-pound professional prospect managed to evade both team personnel and media representatives after he completed his workout for NFL scouts on Thursday.


 Watson's teammates and coaches came forward to speak in his favor, praising the statistics he achieved as they attempted to persuade others to select him as the highest-drafted player ever at his weight during next month's NFL draft.


 “His agility surpasses everyone’s expectations considering his build,” remarked defensive tackle Joey Slackman. “I can’t understand why a team wouldn’t offer him an opportunity. He’s completely dedicated to the game; I’d love having that kind of player on my squad.”


 Watson demonstrated a remarkable feat by lifting 225 pounds an impressive 36 times during his bench press session, surpassing all others at this year’s NFL Combine. His time for the 40-yard dash was clocked at 5.93 seconds, and he achieved a vertical leap of 25 inches.


 He
 appeared out of breath during positional exercises
 It’s not particularly shocking considering Florida only used four defensive linemen in their rotations. However, his size and strength—primarily reflected in his weight—were very noticeable on what might be the most crucial day of his professional career.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BNf30" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BNf30.jpg"/>

 Clearly, Dez is one-of-a-kind," Coach Billy Napier of the Gators stated. "Throughout your entire coaching career, you'll rarely come across someone with his level of prominence. Once you get to know him better, though, you realize he's incredibly smart and has an excellent sense of humor. Plus, he made for a fantastic team player.


 He definitely arrived well-prepared today, so he'll have his opportunity, and I'm hopeful he will seize it.


 When Watson stood on the scale, it was just as startling as his bench press performance. Last season, he weighed in at 449 pounds, an increase from 435 pounds during his junior year and 415 pounds as a sophomore. Since arriving on campus in 2021, where former Florida coach Dan Mullen referred to him as "a 385-pound athlete," managing his weight has been essential for him.

 He has worked with many nutritionists, positional coaches, and strength trainers. I believe that over the past year, we likely implemented everything most effectively," Napier stated. "I felt he played his finest football throughout his entire career. Generally speaking, I think he has gained significant knowledge about forming habits and maintaining self-discipline.


 “In the end, his frame score suggests that he will indeed be quite large — this figure tends to remain significant. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches tall with such density and robust bone structure, he’s clearly a big man.”


 During his four years in Gainesville, Watson never missed a game. However, his standout moments were sparse.

 Watson, who was known as the ultimate space-eater, concluded his college football journey with 63 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Additionally, he had one yard rushing and played fullback for several snaps during the Gasparilla Bowl game against Tulane in December.


 Dez is truly a very gifted and athletic individual," stated Florida's defensive back Trikweze Bridges. "Everyone recognizes this. Everyone sees it.


 However, might this be sufficient reason for an NFL team to use a draft pick on him? The heaviest players ever selected in the NFL were around 380 pounds: offensive linemen Trent Brown from Florida (drafted in 2015) and Daniel Faalele from Minnesota (selected in 2022). Watson outweighs both of them by almost a hundred pounds.


 Defensive tackle Cam Jackson stated, "When Dez showed up here, he truly surprised many of the scouts, particularly with his 40-yard dash performance. I believe he astonished a great number of individuals. Many larger players aren't as agile and quick as Dez."

 He’s putting in efforts to reduce his weight. I believe a team will likely show interest in him. If I were part of such a team, I definitely would consider it. Finding a nose tackle with his agility isn’t common. Dez is a large, impactful player who dedicates himself fully.

 Chelsea boasts one of the most exceptional youth development systems in England, consistently producing an abundance of talented players who often progress to play for the first team.


 Recently, players like Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, and Reece James have excelled in the Premier League, followed by Gallagher’s transfer to Atletico Madrid.


 On the flip side, some do not achieve great success, and in this case, we've explored five former individuals who did not quite make it big.
 <a href="https://www.planetfootball.com/chelsea">

 academy players who are currently competing in non-league soccer.

<h2>
 
 Rohan Ince
 
</h2>

 Paul Ince's nephew and Tom's cousin, Rohan Ince, has participated in international football five times for Montserrat and has also been part of several prominent teams.


 He didn't stay long at Chelsea before getting released, but he was signed by Brighton, where he remained for five years as they competed in the Championship. During his tenure with the Seagulls, he made 91 appearances and went on loan several times, including a stint with another Championship team, Fulham.


 Following his departure from Brighton in 2018, Ince has competed in both League One and League Two matches. At 32 years old, he is now participating in the National League as part of Woking’s team. Simultaneously, his cousin Tom is playing in the Championship division for Watford at the age of 33.

<h2>
 
 Michael Woods
 
</h2>

 Originally from York and having started his career in Leeds' youth system, Chelsea recognized Woods as a promising talent worth investing in, paying £150,000 for him when he was younger. Additionally, he was part of the England squad for the Under-20 World Cup in 2009; however, he didn’t get any playing time during the tournament.


 Two years after that incident, the player found himself clubless once again upon being let go by Chelsea. During his time there, he barely made it into the first-team lineup, appearing only twice but failing to get any game time.


 Initially, he was selected by Yeovil but they let him go after half a year. Subsequently, a different team from League One, Doncaster Rovers, took him under their wing. Following this, Woods experienced playing for non-league clubs when he moved as a free agent to Harrogate Town.


 He went back to the 92 with Hartlepool, yet he has been involved in non-League games ever since their relegation from League Two during the 2016/17 season. Since then, Woods has represented Harrogate, Dover, York, South Shields, and currently plays for Scarborough.

<h2>
 
 Alex Kiwomya
 
</h2>

 Across Chelsea’s under-18, under-21, and youth league teams, Kiwomya made 69 appearances, netting 12 goals and providing seven assists.


 Although he didn't play any senior matches, the Blues loaned him out thrice in an attempt to fulfill his potential, but without success. In 2017, he moved to Doncaster Rovers as a free agent, subsequently going on loan to teams in the National League like Chesterfield and Chorley.


 After initially joining Chesterfield on loan, Kiwomya made the permanent move a few years later. Following a brief stint in Gibraltar during 2021, he has since been moving between various clubs in English non-league football. Currently, he plays for Rylands in the Northern Premier League, which is positioned two tiers beneath the National League.

<h2>
 
 Luke McCormick
 
</h2>

 Midfielder McCormick scored 24 goals and provided 10 assists in 81 matches for Chelsea’s under-18, under-21, and youth teams.


 In 33 Premier League 2 matches, McCormick managed 12 goal contributions, which initially indicated he could potentially make his way into the main squad; however, this expectation did not materialize.


 Rather than focusing elsewhere, he has predominantly been a League One player throughout his career, participating in the tournament 141 times and contributing directly to 27 goals during stints with Bristol Rovers and Wimbledon.


 Although League One club Rovers remains the owner of McCormick, he is presently on loan to Forest Green, which competes in the National League.

<h2>
 
 Billy Clifford
 
</h2>

 During the 2013/14 Under-21 Premier League season with Chelsea, Clifford provided assistance for six goals across just five matches. Notably, three assists were recorded in a single match where Chelsea’s youth team thrashed Leicester 5-1.


 In just 45 minutes of play after coming off the bench, Clifford contributed three assists, overshadowing midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Additionally, Nathan Ake and Andreas Christensen started the match alongside him.


 However, the mentioned threesome moved on to greater achievements, whereas Clifford became a free agent two years later. He participated in nearly 75 matches across League One and League Two but descended to the non-league level during the 2018/19 season.


 Clifford has represented Boreham Wood, Hemel, Billericay, Slough, Wealdstone, Havant, Waterlooville, Ebbsfleet, and currently plays for Barnet in the non-league system.
