Sports on the go

  You will know the pose. Head bowed,  hands on hips, the haunting realisation a  chance to finally become a winner had  slipped away. Harry Kane cut that figure in Moscow  and  Madrid, Wembley and Doha but he could  never have foreseen adding Leverkusen  to his destinations of despair. But here  he  was, shattered, confronting the prospect  that another calamity is potentially  unfolding. When Kane cut ties with Tottenham, we  expected with good reason his medal  famine would end. Bayern Munich  always  win the Bundesliga and had signed  England’s captain for £100million - how  could things go wrong? Well, things are certainly going wrong  now. Bayern have time to extricate  themselves from a situation that sees  them trail Xabi Alonso’s effervescent  collective by five points but, watching  them get ripped apart, you feared Kane  will again be second best when the hi...

 🎙️| Richarlison on his mental health and the struggles that he’s endured: “The club helped me to get help. That was really important to me because there were days when I didn’t want to leave my house, my room. I went to training and then straight back home and locked myself in my bedroom. I’m from a small town, and it can be a bit like, ‘I’m not gonna do this therapy thing ’cause I’m not crazy’. Because some people from the countryside have this pre-conception, my family has it. But it got to a point when I understood that I needed help. And a lot of people were telling me this. So I got help and the therapist has been helping me a lot. I think after you take your first session you will understand what it means. I was very happy. I’m still doing it and I’ll carry on (with therapy) because it’s been helping me a lot. I think the main thing is my happiness. I was able to find my happiness again. I came from periods of my life when I was very down and sad… I wasn’t the Richarlison e...

 🇧🇷 Dani Alves gave evidence at his trial yesterday: The former Barcelona right-back faces 9 to 12 years in prison, a €150,000 fine and 10 years of supervised release for sexual assault. ⚖️ 🗣️ “I started dancing with the complainant. There was sexual tension and I started talking her into going to the bathroom. She put her hand behind my back and started touching me. She told me yes to go to the bathroom, I didn't have to insist. I waited a moment, thinking that she wouldn't come, that she didn't want to. And when I opened the door, I almost hit it. She got on her knees in front of me and started giving me oral sex. This lasted for the duration of the report. Then she sat in front of my legs. […] I ejaculated outside of his penis. At no point did she tell me she didn't want to or anything. I didn't slap her, I didn't throw her to the ground. I am not a violent man. She didn't tell me she didn't want to have sex.” Finally, the player admitted he was un...

 🚨𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍! | Tottenham loanee Djed Spence has impressed Genoa from his first training session. 🇮🇹Genoa wanted the wing-back last summer and there is a strong chance they will attempt to make his move permanent this summer.  🗞️[@Gazzetta_IT] #THFC | #COYS | #TOTTENHAM

 🚨Former Manchester United CEO David Gill on Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy being difficult to work with: 🗣️"I think he protects his club. I respect him. I think he is good. What he has done with that stadium is fantastic.” 🗣️"He can do himself no favours though. An example is when we signed Dimitar Berbatov, we had him all summer and ended up getting him right at the death.” 🗣️”But he never had a replacement. Fraizer Campbell was due to go on loan to Bolton and Sir Alex had to call him and tell him he was going to Tottenham.” 🗣️”Daniel probably got another million or two out of us, but he could have got that deal done earlier and had a replacement." 📺[@FIVEUK] #THFC | #COYS | #TOTTENHAM

  In the journey of life, challenges are inevitable. Whether it's facing setbacks, dealing with failures, or overcoming obstacles, the path to success is often paved with difficulties. However, it's not the challenges themselves that define us, but rather how we choose to respond to them. In every adversity lies an opportunity for growth, and it's our resilience and determination that propel us forward. So, how do we unlock our inner power and turn obstacles into stepping stones? Let's explore some key strategies: 1. **Embrace Change:** Life is constantly changing, and learning to adapt is essential for personal growth. Instead of fearing change, embrace it as an opportunity for self-discovery and improvement. Remember, the only constant in life is change, and those who can adapt thrive in any environment. 2. **Cultivate a Positive Mindset:** Your mindset plays a crucial role in how you perceive and respond to challenges. Cultivate a positive outlook by focusing on grat...

 🇦🇷🔵 Mauricio Pochettino: "To be focused on playing football you need to be free in your mind."  "You can’t let it be affected because of the stock market in New York or Tokyo, or the weather in I don’t know where because the farms cannot grow the cereals."  "That is why I keep my hair like this. It’s because I do not suffer for things that I am not in charge of. I only suffer for sport, for football, to try to improve the players." "That is sport. You can win or lose. If there is no rain at my farm I cannot grow the crops. You kill the business of my family on the farm and they need money."  "That is stress. With that you can lose your hair. But I cannot lose my hair because the opponent was better than us." (Telegraph)

 🚨Peter Kisfaludy, sports coordinator at Djurgarden on Tottenham Hotspur’s signing of Lucas Bergvall: 🗣️"Laporta saying that Tottenham were offering more money and that's why Bergavll picked Tottenham, that's not true.” 🗣️”It was the feeling. I know that Lucas has always dreamed about playing in the Premier League. I know that [was still the case] because I spoke to him before he went to London and he said 'Peter, you know my dream is to play in the Premier League' and his dream is coming true." 🗣️"He's a fantastic person. His personality is really fantastic. He's open-minded and he has a warm heart, but when he goes on the pitch he's a winner.” 🗣️”He has that winning mentality. The best of him is his technique. His technique is five out of five stars. His playing intelligence is fantastic.” 🗣️”Now he's growing a lot. He's 1.87m tall and the muscles are starting to come now and I think that if you give him two years he's goin...
