Mate, our season ended weeks ago. The players are on holidays enjoying the summer break. We don’t play again until the end of January. The Messi family being in Rosario is big news for Newell’s fans because they are the biggest Newell’s fans of all 🤷♂️
Once again a messi tweet. I swear you're turning into a messi fanboy acc rather than a football club acc.

More from Marcelo Bielsa's @Uruguay press conference.
He explains his dislike of the media, says they always lie and makes an example of Lamine Yamal's personal life being all over the papers instead of his commitment to being an elite athlete.
Fascinating stuff.
