The speech from Drogba that stopped a civil war in Ivory Coast

ENGLISH VERSION of what Caicedo said:

"I’ve come here to Ecuador to meet with my brother, with the desire to take some time to speak about the Lord. We know that if it weren’t for the Lord, nothing would be as it is, and for that, I am very grateful.

I want to thank those I know well — especially my mother, who is here with us, my brother, and my children. I’m very happy to be here, truly joyful to serve God, to pray to Him, to wake up and say, 'Thank you, Lord.'

I give thanks even for a beloved bed — because sometimes the hardest thing is simply getting out of it — but when I do, I realize I have health, I have life... and that is the greatest blessing.

Thank you all once again. It’s a pleasure to be in this beautiful place, a place where I truly feel alive. Listening to the Word of God fills me deeply — even if it's just once a year, it strengthens me tremendously.

Thank you so much, and may God bless you all."

ALL RESPONDED, Amen 🙏🏽

Ajax's initial asking price for Hato was €55-60m. Chelsea's first bit was €40m and at the moment they don't want to go beyond €41m. Ajax doesn't want to miss out on big sum due to club's financial situation. Appears to be okay with €43m-45m. Hato really wants to go

Chelsea's top estimated transfer values, according to CIES.

I think this is the plan the Chelsea board has in mind.

All the attackers can play in two or more positions — the versatility and quality in depth are impeccable.

25 players — but deep emphasis on "versatility and quality in depth"

People think only attitude problem is what Garnacho has. He’s the worst dribbler in the league, Brain dead decision making in the final third, constantly ruining attacks, unnecessary shots from every angle. Aside him having a terrible attitude, he’s a very very bad winger

Can’t dribble or shoot, Can’t do close control, Can’t create meaningful separation, extremely one footed, selfish, bad tactical understanding.

You either have a touchline winger who can’t dribble or an inside forward that can’t shoot.

I would rather have kept Madueke and see what he turns into instead of this nonsense. Garnacho would quickly turn our 9/10 window into a 7.5/10
