Must be a word somewhere in the world, to describe the joint feeling of shared excitement when a friend leaves to pursue a goal, combined with a sadness they’ve left. Outstanding man, team-mate, & mentor, that I’m sure will continue to set standards & help those around him.

As disappointing as today’s result was, it’s been an immense season, with @wwfcofficial again punching above their weight. Love the club, staff, players & fans. Who’ve gained a new 1 for life, in my previously uninterested oldest. Look forward to making more memories next season

The awareness to play with such disguise. @GeirJordet our his scanning levels/quality notably high?
Remember the first touch Kroos uses to "dribble" past opponents? Thiago takes it to a new level: he purposefully uses "poor" body orientation when receiving to invite his opponent to tackle, then aims the first touch behind him and turns, using his rival's momentum against them.

Big positives for 🏴 coaches/fans - Starting XI represented 8 different club sides, only one player 27+ - Increased periods of controlled possession (e.g. Sterling’s goal), without losing counter-attacking strengths. - Strongest bench in yrs, match winners, Grealish/Rashford

Football really is The Beautiful Game... 🤩 Sometimes you see things on the pitch that are simply outrageous! 🎬 Enjoy 6️⃣ minutes of attackers making defenders look silly 😩🔥

Hugely under-appreciated quality, effective communication: - clarifies decision-making 🧠 - increases awareness of team-mates positions 👀 - reinforces game plan 📝 - psychological boost ✅
Every soundbite of Jordan Henderson belting praise and orders to his Liverpool team-mates in their 5-0 win against Atalanta! 📣 THIS is leadership! 💪 📹 @LFC

As they say “Culture eats talent for breakfast”. Fantastic achievement by Wycombe Wanderers. Gaz, Dobbo and all the staff have created an environment where players thrive, give their maximum, and clearly enjoy themselves.

👏🏻Winning matters, but not at the cost of the environment, or derailing the quest to improve!
Jürgen Klopp: "I was not in a too good mood after the game. I was not in a good mood when I went to bed. Then I arrived at Melwood today and I was in a really good mood. Why? Because this is where we change things..."

Love the humility
Big star, small things, huge difference. Has a coach or athlete made a lasting impact on you? 🤜🤛

"Those [footballers] speaking out... whether it be racism, whether it be feeding our children... It takes bravery to do that. Because you know that whenever you put your head above the parapet there are a lot of people trying to knock it off" #Newsnight | @maitlis | @GaryLineker

Carlos Alberto captained the great Brazilian World Cup side of 1970. Clearly he understood the importance of individuality, within a team collective.

Didier Deschamps a serial winner. Heightened self-awareness as a player, saw him maximise his talent, in a way that allowed his team-mates, club and country shine.

Jordan states that he never demanded anything from his teammates that he wasn’t willing to do. I wonder if Buck Shelford did too 😳?
