🚨🎙️| Jürgen Klopp on why he has no plans to coach Real Madrid: “Real Madrid? Look, I respect the club, of course but coaching there is not football, it’s politics with a ball. One week you’re a genius, the next week they’re already discussing your replacement. That’s not how I work. People always ask me, ‘Why not Madrid?’ Because I don’t build something for three months, I build something for years. At Madrid, you don’t build, you survive. You win and it’s expected. You lose once and suddenly you’re the problem. And this idea that any manager can just go there and ‘handle the stars’, no. The players have more power than the coach, everyone can see it. If your philosophy doesn’t match the dressing room mood, you’re gone. Simple. Also, let’s be honest, there’s no real patience for football identity. It’s always, ‘give the ball to the best players and magic will happen.’ That’s not coaching, that’s hoping. I need a team that believes in a system, not just moments. I’ve heard people say, ‘But it’s Real Madrid, you must go if they call.’ No. Not every big name fits every manager. I prefer a place where the project matters more than headlines, where people understand that success is built, not demanded overnight. Madrid is perfect for some coaches but not for me. I like control, I like development, I like loyalty. And honestly, I don’t see those things lasting very long there.”

German Chancellor Merz: We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true. But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly. With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.

Former Bayern president Uli Hoeneß: "We could charge more than €120 per season ticket. If we charge €350 per season ticket we would get €2m extra, but what does that mean for us? The difference for a fan between €120 and €350 is enormous and we do not believe that fans are like cows, which are milked. Football has to be for everyone. That is the biggest difference between us and England."

Een bevlogen Ron Jans nam het in de persconferentie op voor John Heitinga en andere collega's😠 "Hoe ze met met ons omgaan... daar moeten jullie een keer mee stoppen!"

Legacy is forever. Ajax Forever.

Ik hoop dat Van den Brom 5 trainers wil meenemen.

Profclubs mogen geen gokbedrijven meer als hoofdsponsor hebben. Ik dacht dat dit wetgeving was. Valt de KNVB buiten die wet? Of is dit een vrijbrief voor alle clubs om alsnog door te (kunnen) gaan met gokbedrijven? Ik vraag dit voor een volledige bedrijfstak.
