A quarrel in Juve over the Brazilian flop

Juventus’ season ended in complete disappointment. No trophies and qualification only for the Europa League is a result that sets off alarm bells in Turin. For a club whose motto is “Winning isn’t important, it’s the only thing that matters” a season like this needs to be archived as quickly as possible, lessons must be learned, and mistakes corrected. However, that may not be so simple. A huge amount of work awaits Juventus executives this summer. Dusan Vlahovic’s situation remains unresolved and the chances of extending cooperation with the Serbian striker are growing slimmer by the day. The futures of major signings Jonathan David and Loïs Openda are also uncertain after both failed to meet expectations, meaning they could leave Continassa after just one season.

He turned out to be a major disa..

Thiaw refused to board the plane? Not true!

Senegal are preparing for their World Cup participation. On Wednesday morning, the Teranga Lions posted its team had visited the palace of the Senegal president, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, followed by photos of squad members at an airport. The team should have boarded the plane to the USA, where they are to play two friendlies, one with the host on June 1st, and the second with Saudi Arabia June 10th. But the flight was delayed as the initial flight, which was scheduled 3.30pm was delayed twice, until 7pm and then until 11pm.
