In a Q & R Quickfire conducted with UEFA TV last year, Rafael Tolói was invited to describe the last thing he would like to do in football, answering: “I would like to make ATALANA [Bigger Cup] Or win a trophy. Luckily, the veteran defender who represented the Bergamo team without little distinction for almost a decade has not been forced to choose between his two ambitions. He and his teammates would subsequently hoist Big vase to the sky above Dublin, in rubber which hides a place in a larger cup that they had already obtained anyway from the object of their fourth place in the League Italian. Having seen his two big dreams come true, everything that was left to the 34 -year -old Italian international to leave an indelible brand on this season’s competition while representing the club he loves before the expiration of his contract Later this season. And how …
While Atalanta may have left the Bigger Cup on Tuesday evening, which managed a second best to a part of the Brugge club which had seized the 24th and last place of qualification in the group phase, it would be just to say that thunder Belgians were rather stolen by Tolói, whose generational collapse after being prevented from taking a return of the 88th minute long after the link beyond the rescue assured that his name will be forever part the biggest folklore in the cup. Having received a second yellow for an absurd anti-shirt dive in the field of Feyenoord penalty a few hours earlier, the Théo Hernandez of Milan could have been forgiven for having thought that it would be the most embarrassing red card this week, Or at the very least in larger cup games putting the Italian sides outside the spells organizing teams from low countries. But not a little.
In an act of carelessness for which the expression “holding my beer” could have been invented, Tolói lost the plot when Maxim de Cuyper jostled him in the chest, inciting the Atalanta captain to try to launch The balloon to defender Brugge in a rage adjustment which was only exacerbated when he lost his catch on the ball and slipped to the ground. The head completely left and the rest of him wrapped in a mist so red that it is in fact prefaced by the adjective “volcanic” on the dulux colors painting, Tolói has passed into Cuyper’s Blundes Taure Blind mode with a load of shoulder that struck the Belgian sassy on the ground. While he was withdrawn by teammates and members of the opposition, the exasperated Tolói officially received his marching orders from referee Felix Zweyer. “He launched the ball and slipped, and he was so annoyed by himself,” Klaxoned Lucy Ward, who was in co-trafic for TNT. “What has worsened is the embarrassment of slipping. This adds to anger and he completely lost it. »»
Ademola Lookman, who probably hoped that the sending of his manager, was a player who could have been satisfied with the Tirtrum de Tolói, a player who could have been satisfied with Tolola Horder the kick he had missed when the Equality was still vaguely saved, was a player who could have been satisfied with the Tolred Or farmable. Again, not a bit. “Lookman was not supposed to take this penalty, he is one of the worst penalty takers I have ever seen,” smoked Gian Piero Gasperini, carefully avoiding the cute of words designated by the UEFA left to the superior for its post-match conference press. The scouring criticism of the boss of Atalanta prompted Lookman to draw a response, shifting the way in which he had been “distinguished” for a “deeply disrespectful” blame in the form of a declaration; Whoever weighed 183 words, none of which was mentioned, or even to refer, how poor his penalty was.

“It’s worrying to see Brazilian management [football] takes. It is absurd that we must discuss the synthetic lawn in our areas. Objectively, with the size and reputation of our [game]This should not even be an option … In the most respected leagues in the world, players are listened to and investments are made to ensure the quality of the field in the stadiums. If Brazil wants to play a leading role in the world market, the first step should be to demand the quality of the field on which players play and train. Professional [football’] is not played on synthetic lawn ”- Neymar, Thiago Silva and Memphis Depay, among other players, publish a declaration castigating the use of artificial land in Brazil.

I loved Roy Pritchard’s photo in training; It seems that the Wolves use a Gibbet for the Practice of the Head (Memory Lane of yesterday, edition by complete e-mail). Speaking of wolves in the 1950s, as a little glassified pre-adolescent pre-adolescent girls, the first great excitement of fitba in my life was to go watch the wonderful wolves playing Celtic Park to mark the inauguration of the backgrounds . Armed with our two shillings and six pence, my boyfriend and I expected to pay, but we were raised on the turnstiles. But inside, we found people collecting money for the families of the victims of the Auchengeich mining disaster a month earlier. Away has left our “-c-Croons”. By the way, a namesake played for Celtic that night: Neil Mochan, a cousin, who was a coach when Celtic won the European Cup eight years later ”- Charlie Mochan.
