Giovanni Lo Celso spoke in an interview with The Times and commented on his assist to Lautaro Martínez in the Copa America final, his rough time at Tottenham, and how he experienced the 2022 World Cup from home.

About his assist to “El Toro” vs. Colombia, the Argentine midfielder said the following: “I’ve watched the goal many times back but to be honest I don’t need the video. It’s engraved in my head.”

This is what the Betis player said on his time at Tottenham: “There were some very strange things. They always told me one thing in the club and then something else happened on the pitch. But whatever, I don’t want to go into detail about what happened, but the way they handled things was very strange.

“Many times, at the time of transfer decisions, the club said that they were going to count on me, that they wanted me not to leave. And then it happened anyway, the complete opposite.”

About the 2022 World Cup, the one he missed due to injury: “I will always remember the moment when Messi scored that goal against Mexico because we celebrated at home and my wife’s waters broke in that precise second.”

Julián Álvarez has been voted Atlético Madrid’s Player of the Month for November by the fans, marking his second consecutive win after also claiming the award in October.

“The Spider” had an impressive November, scoring four goals during what was a fantastic month for Diego Simeone’s team.

Speaking to Atlético Madrid’s official channel, the Argentine forward shared his thoughts:

“Honestly, it’s a source of pride. Beyond the fact that the collective is always important, these individual awards help build confidence, and it’s a way to realize that you’re doing things right, so you have to keep going down this path. Thanks to everyone who voted, thank you very much. We’re in a good place. We’re coming off a very good run.

“Lots of consecutive victories. We hope to finish these last two matches the way we’ve been playing. The final home game, with our fans, we’re going to enjoy it, and we hope everyone will be there, as always, supporting us, cheering us on to make it a great match. The team is doing really well, and if everything continues like this, heading forward with wins and success.

“For next year… just hoping for more success, victories, health, and love for everyone.”

Bournemouth has confirmed that Marcos Senesi underwent a successful procedure this week to repair a quadriceps injury sustained during the recent win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The club’s statement continues:

“Further assessment after the match revealed that the 27-year-old defender, who had started all but two matches this season, would need surgery. Marcos will now begin his rehabilitation process over the coming months to ensure the best possible recovery.”
