Kaio Jorge shares insights on the valuable advice he received from Cristiano Ronaldo and its impact.
Former Juventus player Kaio Jorge has recently shared insights from his brief but impactful time alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at the Serie A club. Jorge, who joined Juventus in 2021 for €7 million from Santos, experienced a pivotal moment in his career, albeit during Ronaldo’s final months with the team before his return to Manchester United.
In a candid interview with Flash Score, Jorge expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to learn from one of football’s greatest icons. Despite their limited time together—less than two months—Ronaldo’s influence left a lasting impression on the young forward. Jorge recounted a particularly memorable piece of advice he received while they were working out in the gym: “It is from preparation that opportunities arise.” This phrase has since become a guiding principle for the 22-year-old.
Since departing Juventus for Cruzeiro Esporte Clube this summer for €7.2 million, Jorge has continued to demonstrate his potential on the pitch, netting 10 goals and providing three assists in 40 appearances this season. As he progresses in his career, the wisdom imparted by Ronaldo serves as a reminder of the importance of preparation and seizing opportunities.
The Chelsea Supporters Trust (CST) has formally requested that the Premier League investigate a potential conflict of interest involving Chelsea co-owner, Todd Boehly, and the ticket resale website, Vivid Seats. In an open letter addressed to Premier League CEO Richard Masters, the CST highlights Boehly’s position on the board of directors of Vivid Seats, a platform the Premier League itself identifies as an “unauthorised ticket website.”
The CST statement emphasizes that Vivid Seats actively lists Premier League tickets at inflated prices, directly contravening Chelsea FC’s ticketing policy and undermining efforts to combat ticket touting. The Trust deems Boehly’s association with the website a “breach of trust” and a “clear conflict of interest,” urging the Premier League to take action and initiate a thorough investigation into the matter. The league has yet to respond publicly to the CST’s request.
Following Argentina’s resounding 4-1 victory over Brazil in their recent World Cup qualifier, captain Lionel Messi has lauded his teammates’ performance. Despite not featuring in the match, Messi took to social media to congratulate the squad on their impressive win.
In an Instagram story posted Wednesday, Messi stated, “Inside, outside, wherever it may be with this National Team. Always SPEAKING through football.” He further added, “Congratulations on the great match you played last night and also on the win against Uruguay.”
The victory solidifies Argentina’s position atop the South American standings with 31 points. Brazil, on the other hand, currently occupies fourth place with 21 points. Messi’s commendation highlights the team’s collective effort in their pursuit of World Cup qualification.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has confirmed a potential windfall for the victors of the expanded 2025 Club World Cup, stating the winning team could earn up to $125 million. This announcement comes on the heels of FIFA’s unveiling of a $1 billion total prize purse for the tournament, to be hosted in the United States from June 14 to July 13.
Approximately half of the $1 billion will be distributed amongst the 32 participating clubs, differentiated by sporting and commercial metrics, favoring larger, more established clubs. The remaining $475 million is designated for performance-based rewards, incentivizing victories throughout the tournament’s seven potential matches. The team demonstrating the highest level of success on the pitch stands to gain the maximum $125 million reward, highlighting the substantial financial incentives at stake in this revamped competition.
