Hitting Spalletti with the important questions during last night’s presser
Today we asked Spalletti why he congratulated his former club zenit & their CEO alexei miller (CEO of Gazprom) who are one of the biggest funders of russia’s war
The answer was expected...
"Sport’s out of politics... we’re for peace, etc..."
Full answer in 🧵

Poignant reminder to all those who persist in thinking that Ukraine should have changed into a leading western nation over night! There is a long way to go but the journey’s beginning was made possible as a result of Maidan!
There is a lot of justified criticism of how reforms in Ukraine have fallen short until now. A lot of effort needed in years to come to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.
But without the will to fight for liberty shown on Maidan that struggle would not even be possible

Not had his best campaign this season. Just 4 goals in 18 matches - albeit less than half of those caps were starts. He did look promising in 19/20 and when gets a good run in the side seems to be an effective CF. Strong, bit of pace but not too reliable of late
