Seeing a bit of a narrative forming that Andrey Santos is “just a 6”. Yes that’s where he’s been playing for at Chelsea in pre-season, mostly by necessity as he’s the best one to fulfill that role in the squad currently. But let’s be clear he is a dynamic, box to box midfielder

As both a Brazilian and Chelsea fan, I feel absolutely blessed. 💙💛
💛💚 Ancelotti: “Estevão has incredible amount of talent. It’s a surprise this level at his age. He’s good at finishing, has a lot of ‘magic’… and he works very hard”. “I can say this: with Estevão, Brazil have guaranteed future”.

The biggest bottleneck in AI adoption isn’t speed. It’s trust. If you still have to review every line of AI-generated code for subtle bugs, you didn’t save time, you just changed jobs. Zenflow automates review, not just writing. Multi-agent verification adds a “trust layer”

There’s a bigger chance than many realize of Real Madrid and Liverpool doing a swap deal for Vini and Wirtz in the next year.

I agree we have to be patient but comparing Estevao’s start and talent with Sancho is criminal.
Former Liverpool winger John Barnes: 🗣 "Estevao is a young player who has come into the team and is doing well at the moment. However, I remember Jadon Sancho doing the same thing and based off that I tend to leave opinions on young players alone and wait for them to grow. We

I was out here singing his praises in 2023 after watching him for Boca and Argentina U20s. Many called him a flop at Brighton but I stuck with my beliefs. When Strasbourg signed him I called he said like be successful. Patience and trust.
Valentín Barco leads Ligue 1 with 17 through-balls. The next closest in the league only has EIGHT! That's insane. He also leads the league in XA (expected assists) AND goal creating actions. So impressive…

Played yesterday like a man who knows his body is going to get a long deserved rest. Has played insane minutes over last few years, barely a break, the type that has consistently played through injuries. Come back stronger Enzo 😤💪
🚨🇦🇷 Enzo Fernández: “I will not be available with Argentina”. “I was just talking to the medical team because I had a problem with my knee in the last 4 months”.

Yes, and yet we are currently second in the PL table whilst our best player and our best CB have both been out. Youngest squad in the league will always mean growing pains. But those will be overcome and corrected. The future is blue. 💙
Some more Chelsea PL stats.. • 1st for most points dropped from winning positions • 1st for most red cards • 3rd for most errors leading to shots • 6th for most errors leading to goals Individual mistakes costing Chelsea a lot this season

I'm sorry but an inter Miami player might just have scored a puskas winner from a filthy Leo Messi pass. What in the world! https://t.co/nQpMtsULtU

Estevão !! Comes in and instantly gets an assist with a beautiful set up for João Pedro. Why does he not start every game yet ?!

I think this might be the first time we have Open Source at the majority of the top 5,000 sites, which is a big win.

For the unaware, many Brazilian clubs have been moving to private / multi-club ownership (the SAF model in Brazil). Santos fans might be especially receptive given Santos were in Serie B just last year. 💰 injection and new players of a higher caliber would give them new hope.

YES!! I posted quite a while ago that Santos would be a fantastic target for BlueCo takeover. Historically one of the best academies in Brazil, but riddled with poor management over the years, consistently wasted funds from academy sales. A lot to love here.

Are VCs buying the “AI bubble” narrative—or betting against it? 🤔 On The Main Scoop, investor @Ellen_Rubin (@GlasswingVC) joins @DanielNewmanUV and @GregLotko to get to the bottom of this debate. Bubbles form from excess supply—but in AI infrastructure, supply is the bottleneck.

Was screaming at Neto for giving it away cheaply and then not chasing it down. And then Moi went and won it back (again) and set up the assist. What. A. Player. 😤

Life does not promise happiness. It promises meaning.. and demands endurance. The tragedy is not that suffering exists, but that we expect life to spare us from it. Joy and pain are not opposites; they are partners in shaping the human soul and spirit. What breaks the

Caicedo assist to João Pedro btw.
People have expensive forwards who don’t return like Joao Pedro and Gyökeres, which then in turn means they have defensive mids who don’t return like Caicedo, Reijnders, Josh King and Elliott Anderson. 🤔 Interesting way to play. I prefer cheap forwards who return like Thiago,
