Calvin Bassey Blames Bad Luck for Fulham’s Loss to Man United
Fulham defender Calvin Bassey expressed his frustration after the Cottagers suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Craven Cottage.
Speaking with TNT Sports, Bassey shared his disappointment, emphasizing that Fulham deserved a better result.
“We controlled the game and had plenty of chances, but it just wasn’t our day,” the Nigerian international said. “Football sometimes needs a bit of luck, and today, it didn’t go our way.”
Fulham’s defence kept United at bay for most of the match, with Bassey noting that the Red Devils didn’t pose much of a threat.
“They didn’t create too much to trouble us, but we know the quality they have. We had enough opportunities, but maybe we could have been sharper in the final moments,” he added.
Manchester United Legend, Wayne Rooney criticizes Chelsea’s team captain, Reece James.
The criticism comes after the team’s recent defeat to Arsenal on the Premier League clash on Sunday. The Man U legend shares that James struggled throughout the game and was constantly focused on Declan Rice.
“I just felt that Reece James had a job to do today, and he was man-marking Declan Rice—which, coming back from injury, is very difficult to do.”
“I felt he struggled all game. He’s trying to play the role the manager has given him, but I think he found it tough.”
“But as play progresses, Reece James is always thinking about Declan Rice—there’s no other thought in his head.”
Rwanda midfielder Djabel Manishimwe expresses preparation and readiness for the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Nigeria.
The footballer will be making a return after his last match in June 2024 against Lesotho.
Manishumwe describes his return as an honor, sharing that he felt grateful to be called on. “It was an honour for me when I was contacted by the coach to play for the national team again.”
“I know I have the responsibility to repay the faith that the coach has put in me.”
Sergio Ramos saw red in the closing moments of Monterrey’s 3-1 win over Pumas UNAM on Sunday, marking his first red card since joining Liga MX.
Ramos, known for his tough playing style, was involved in several heated clashes throughout the match. In the 92nd minute, he tackled Guillermo Martínez and then kicked him as the ball went out of play, leading to his dismissal.
This marks the 30th red card of Ramos’ career. He was sent off 26 times with Madrid, twice with Paris Saint-Germain, and once with Sevilla. Surprisingly, he’s never been shown a red card while playing for Spain.
Despite the setback, Ramos has had a strong start at Monterrey, scoring three goals in four games since joining last month.
