Many thanks to the club for the gesture of publishing in Spanish. I appreciate it.

It's always good to see Arteta cry.

When we signed him it seemed to me that we could have tried something better for that price. Then his first games here were disappointing. How glad I was wrong. It seems like a real super class to me. His ball handling is different. Release something. Things are going to happen when he has the ball. Yesterday he shows his intelligence without the ball in the goals from Willock and Almiron making the perfect unmarking to clean up the play. He already needs to be called by Southgate... And next summer it will cost 100 million if someone wants to take him.

I can't really say much about this guy. Only I saw him at the U20 World Cup this year and I loved him. He had a lot of goals. (In fact, I think he scored in every game of the tournament). In theory, he was not going to be a starter. In fact, he wasn't even going to be called up. But since Brazil's two forwards (Endrick and Vitor Roque) were not released by their clubs... They called him up. Seeing that Real Madrid and Barcelona have paid 70 and 60 million for Endrick and Vitor Roque, and that this boy is a couple of years older, but with figures similar to them, it doesn't seem like a bad attempt at signing to me. With these signings there is always risk. It can happen like with the last pearl that came out of Santos (Gabriel Barbosa). I was sure that he was going to succeed in Europe and he didn't. But the reality is that our present and future starting forward is already on the team. It's Isak. So a signing of this style ensures that, if Leonardo breaks out into a world star, great, he is ours. And if not, you can always sell it and recover 10-12M without hurting your sports project.

The coach of that Atleti (and 2 players, including the full-back who defended Jimmy Johnstone) was the same coach who had coached Racing Club in those Intercontinental Cups against Celtic. The Scottish press tried to heat up the atmosphere as revenge. That's why it was known that the match between Atletico and Celtic was going to be a massacre. In Glasgow, the Atleti players were very tough. Too much perhaps even for the time. Three of them were sent off and another 7 received yellow. From Celtic, only one player saw the yellow card. But the police had to enter the grass in the first half because several fans went down to the stands to try to attack an Atleti defender and at the end of the game, a fight between players ended with the police attacking the Atleti players in the dressing room. When they arrived at the airport to return to Madrid, even the passport control staff attacked the Atleti players (and some fans). On the return trip, some red and white fans threatened to shoot Johnstone and Celtic were escorted by police throughout the trip. PS The Atleti players were sanctioned with 3 games (even though they were sent off for a double yellow card) and could not play in the second leg of those European Cup semi-finals, nor the final, nor the replay of the final (in In the final we tied against Bayern and since there was no extra time, another game was played 2 days later).

Celtic-Atlético today, 50 yearl later. My father told me about this match several times.

Seeing that it seems that Tonali's situation has been much more serious than that of the other boy, 10 months seems like a good sentence for us. We can be happy because when the news broke in Italy, it was said that according to the regulations, betting on the same team you play for can cause you a 3-year suspension. In the end, for us it means facing everything that remains of this season without him, but now being able to start counting on him in the next one. Really, if we do things right, we have Longstaff for that position who already did very well last year and we have Anderson who has taken a step forward this season. If we can get a player on loan in the January window (Phillips, Neves or whoever) we can really save this setback well. Now we have to see how it affects the player, if he manages to get his career back on track and how missing the European Championship 2024 with Italy this summer also affects him.

We need this photo with a hat with corks on it

KP. I think Neves is a player to play in the Bruno place. And KP could fit better in both Tonali and Bruno.

I want Kalvin Phillips on loan in January to get the Tonali seat. With a buying option.

But it is exactly the info O Jogo gave in past June. I mean, I think is just a past rumour.

Corriera dela Sera says today that Tonali is negotiating with the Prosecutor's Office to reduce his sanction and be free now. He probably admits to having bet on football and Serie A, but never on Milan matches, so his sanction could be reduced to one year or less.

According to what I have read in some Italian media, if Milan knew about the story and has not communicated anything to Newcastle, Milan would also be sanctioned (I don't know what type of sanction) because it would be considered fraud.

The Athletic says that was a similar case with Vittorio Micolucci in Ascoli and he was banned 14 months.

Well. I have been reading several things in the Italian press. We must be careful. Apparently, Tonali has admitted that he has a gambling problem and has said that he is going to do everything he can to get his penalty reduced and that he is already trying to find a plan to deal with his problems. Apparently, the other investigated player (Fagioli) has accused Tonali of having helped him with betting (that is, he was the one who introduced him to the subject) by teaching him how different applications worked. And Tonali is going to admit all. There is a part that I don't understand very well, but there is talk that they could commit a sporting crime and, apparently, if one of the things on which he has bet has come true (for example, that a player sees a yellow card) It would be considered a sporting crime and the minor penalty that could be imposed would be 4 years of disqualification. (I understand that this has to have many nuances). But they already assume that he will not return to the national team for a long time and that he will not be able to play in the European Championship if Italy qualifies.

Correct. In fact, the regulations are already completely within UEFA. Trippier was suspended by the FA for 10 weeks for not being able to play (when he was at Atleti) for a bet committed when he was still at Tottenham and the sanction was extended to Atleti.

Looks like this player is Zaniolo with Roma matches.

Tonali has just left the national team camp after being questioned by the police

He has only played 30 minutes, but very good actions by Minteh in Atleti-Feyenoord. He has played as a false 9, falling to the right a lot.

Hahahahahaha. There are no seagulls here. The sea is 400km away...

I think if the word is buy, he's not the right one. PS: In Spain there have always been jokes that Casillas is a stingy person who doesn't spend any money. In Spain there have always been jokes that he is a stingy person who doesn't spend any money. And his own teammates from Real Madrid and the national team always joked about that. PS2: I know him personally because he has lived all his life in the neighborhood right next to mine (In fact, the street next to my house was renamed a few years ago Iker Casillas Street in his honor.) and I can say that he is one of the worst people I have ever met in my life with various despicable acts (his parents are continually being kicked out of shopping centers from the area because they try to steal all kinds of things).
