Former footballer Kyle Walker has shared his thoughts on England’s upcoming FIFA World Cup semi-final against Argentina this Wednesday.

Walker admitted that Lionel Messi is one of the toughest players to stop but pointed out that one possible weakness is his limited defensive work.

He said “It’s difficult to pinpoint any weaknesses in Messi’s game. Perhaps the fact that he doesn’t engage in much defensive tracking could be one.

“However, he is supported by a strong team that enables him to focus on his strengths. The players around him understand his capabilities and work hard to facilitate his play.

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has spoken about his journey to joining the club, revealing that he believes timing played a major role in his appointment.

When asked about his role at Chelsea, he said “Well, it is about timings. I am here today on my first day at Stamford Bridge, talking to you. I am looking forward to this challenge, a big challenge, and Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs. I am looking forward to having success here.”

Footballer Andrey Santos has spoken about his move from Chelsea to Manchester United. It can be recalled that the transfer was officially announced on July 13, 2026, confirming the midfielder’s switch to Old Trafford.

The player later revealed that it had always been a dream of his to play for Manchester United.

“Everything about Manchester United is special; it is an incredible feeling to join a club that some of my biggest idols have represented. As a midfielder, I am really excited to have the opportunity to learn from Michael Carrick. He is the perfect coach to help me take the next step in my career and push to achieve my dreams.”
