A must-read for anyone who loves football' Harry Redknapp Football used to be a sport. Then it became a business. Now it's a whole industry. For three months every year football clubs buy and sell human beings. People who are so good at their job that others are willing to pay millions and millions of pounds to work with them, and for good reason; the right deal can help you win football's top prizes while the wrong deal can cost you your job and bankrupt your club. It's a fast-paced, at times murky and cutthroat world worth billions - and Jim White and Kaveh Solhekol have been at the heart of it for decades. In Deadline Day, Jim and Kaveh, two leading transfer market experts, take us behind the scenes of this uniquely tense and secretive world where the winner takes it all. They uncover what really happens in this game within the game where everything is for sale at the right price. And that's a price that's being paid by some of the richest people and countries on the planet, including billionaire US investors and Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia who have money to burn. Jim reveals what led him into journalism, and specifically what it takes to break the biggest stories and make it in the footballing world. Featuring a colourful cast of iconic players, managers, agents and owners - such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane and Sir Alex Ferguson to name a few - Jim recounts some of the most game-changing deals in history, as well as the ones that got away. Perceptive, entertaining and dynamically told, Deadline Day addresses some of the big questions facing the game in a definitive, never-before-told inside story of football's transfer window. |

| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Ronaldo Vs Messi Bekehti Kingsley Bekwake, 2025-02-18 Cristiano Ronaldo versus Lionel Messi is a biographical book that comprehensively presents the lives and careers of the two greatest football players of our generation. With both players nearing retirement, it is imperative that those who actively witnessed the entirety of their careers be reminded of how lucky they were while those who did not, also have the opportunity to experience and share in the fun and awesomeness. Ronaldo vs Messi provides a detailed account of the major life events, all matches, performances, records, statistics, awards and other distinctions that these legendary icons have achieved across their illustrious and ongoing careers. It is a must-read to those who enjoy reading the biographies of important athletes and celebrities, and those who wish to know much on the lives and careers of Ronaldo and Messi. It starts out with an introduction that gives a brief summary of the lives and careers of both superstars. The first chapter provides details about their backgrounds, and how the boys that became extraordinary footballers were introduced to the beautiful game. It goes further to detail how they navigated through their formative and amateur careers: a part of their lives with a lot of amazing stories, performances, records and achievements that are not common knowledge. The second chapter delves into Ronaldo’s professional career debut with Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese League with his outstanding performances during his single season at the club that made him a top target for the biggest clubs in Europe, and eventually led to him moving to Manchester United in the English Premier League. It further deals with his historic debut season with the English giants, which also saw him make his debut with the Portugal national team. He was instrumental in leading his club to an FA Cup triumph before concluding the season with an extraordinary performance at his debut national team tournament as his EURO 2004 heroics earned him a place in the team of the tournament appearance, and eventually a UEFA Team of the Year appearance. It concludes with the first two months of his third professional season as his rival made his professional debut the next month. The third chapter gets the main plot of the book rolling as it kicks off the greatest rivalry between two football players who have left their mark on the history of the sport following Messi’s professional career debut in October 2004 with Brcelona in the Spanish La Liga, which preceded his debut with the Argentina national team the next year. It goes on to cover the 2000s decade rivalry between the two young players who both became World Best Players, Champions League winners, best players and top scorers as well as the best players, top scorers and champions of their respective leagues before the turn of the decade as Ronaldo had moved to Real Madrid during the last half season of the decade to make the El Classico rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona much more popular and fierce. The fourth chapter elaborates on the 2010s decade performances of these two historic players at the peak of their careers and the peak, who dominated the sport during the decade by sharing the World Best Player and Champions League top scorer distinctions for eight straight years while winning 6 Champions League titles and 10 league titles between them as Ronaldo moved to Juventus in the Italian Serie A after the 2018 World Cup. The story-filled decade that these two elite athletes produce the most iconic performances in recent memory as Ronaldo led Real Madrid to 4 Champions League wins and Portugal to two national team trophies while Messi led Barcelona 2 Champions League wins and domination of Spanish Club football though he led Argentina to 3 finals that they all lost. It was also a decade that saw both stars find love, settle down with their current partners, and become fathers, millionaires and philanthropists. The fifth and final chapter presents the lives and ongoing careers of the two megastars during the 2020s decade that saw Messi leave Barcelona for Paris Saint Germain in the French Ligue 1 in 2021 before eventually moving to Inter Miami in the United States of America’s MLS at the same time that Ronaldo left Juventus and returned to Manchester United before eventually moving to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian League. It is during this decade that Messi found success with his national team as he won three consecutive trophies including the prestigious World Cup trophy. Despite getting old, these two global icons are still performing at an elite level, and accomplishing amazing feats that continue to amaze the world. The book ends with a conclusion that puts their career performances, achievements and experiences into perspective. |

| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: José Mourinho Kaszás Levente, 2024-11-12 José Mourinho minden bizonnyal az egyetemes futball egyik legnagyszerűbb edzőjeként kerül majd be a történelemkönyvekbe. A középszerű focista karrierjét maga mögött hagyó portugál az európai klubfutball legnagyobb trófeáit tudta bezsebelni – némelyiket többször is. Az utóbbi években azonban Mourinho renoméja megkopott és már egyre nehezebben tudja felkelteni a legnagyobb sztárklubok érdeklődését. A Real Madridtól történő távozását követően José a Chelsea-nél, a Manchester Unitednél, a Tottenhamnél, valamint a Románál is tevékenykedett, jelenleg pedig a török első osztályban szereplő Fenerbahçe vezetőedzője. Ezen könyv részletesen megvizsgálja a portugál tréner időszakait a fentebb megnevezett kluboknál és igyekszik kideríteni, milyen okok eredményezték azt, hogy a világ legnépszerűbb csapatai után Mourinhónak már „csak” a török ezüstérmes jutott. Emellett pedig José legnagyobb vihart kavaró nyilatkozatai is terítékre kerülnek a saját játékosaival, főnökeivel és a játékvezetőkkel való balhéi mellett. |

| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Literacies of Power Donaldo Macedo, 2006-01-24 Literacies of Power illustrates the many ways American schools, media, and other social institutions perpetuate ignorance. In this new, expanded edition, Donaldo Macedo shows why so-called common culture literacy is a form of dominant cultural reproduction that undermines independent thought and goes against the best interests of our students. Offering a wide-ranging counterargument, Macedo shows why cultural literacy cannot be restricted to the acquisition of Western heritage values, which sustain an ideology that systematically negates the cultural experiences of many members of society-not only minorities but also anyone who is poor or disenfranchised. Macedo calls on his own experience as a Cape Verdean immigrant from West Africa who had to surmount the barriers imposed by the world's most entrenched monolingual system of higher education. His eloquence in this book is testimony to the very idea that critical thinking and good education are not and must not be culturally or linguistically bounded.A new concluding chapter by the author critically challenges the crucial role of schools in “the manufacture of consent” for the war in Iraq and the Patriot Act, and the “charitable racism” that is too often evident in the field of ESL. In essays new to this edition, well-known and respected educators Joe Kincheloe, Peter McLaren, and Shirley Steinberg share their insights on Macedo's message, complementing Paulo Freire's Foreword to the original edition. |

What readers are saying about Alex Ferguson's My Autobiography 'The greatest manager of a generation.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'No matter the team you support, this is a must read.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Incredible' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I couldn't put it down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ __________ For over two decades Sir Alex Ferguson dominated the Premier League, overseeing a sustained and unparalleled period of success with Manchester United. He was a visionary, able to move with the times and build title-winning teams both on and off the pitch. He was a man-manager of phenomenal skill, and increasingly he had to deal with global stars.

| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Be Careful What You Wish For Simon Jordan, 2012-06-07 The ultimate gift for every football fan. Ever dreamed of owning your boyhood football club? Be careful what you wish for... Simon Jordan grew up a stone's throw from Crystal Palace Football Club. As a boy he used to break into the Palace ground for a kick-about on the hallowed turf. On leaving school he entered the mobile phone business. By the age of thirty-two, he'd built a company from nothing, sold it for £75 million and bought his childhood club. By the age of forty-two Palace was in administration and Jordan had lost nigh on everything. Be Careful What You Wish For lifts the lid on the owner's story and reveals for the first time how the national game really works. Jordan spares no one, least of all himself, as he takes us inside a world where hopes and aspirations sit alongside greed, self-interest, overpriced players, dodgy transfers and top-level incompetence. He doesn't hold back. Breathtakingly honest, highly controversial, humorous and full of jaw-dropping anecdotes, this is far more than a football book. It is a social commentary on the culture of great wealth and ambition; a Shakespearean tragedy that exposes the dark side of chasing a dream. ‘If you are a football fan and have not read this book, you are missing out’ John Inverdale ‘One hell of a read’ Sport Magazine 'One of the best football books you will ever read' Birmingham Post |

| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Uprising in Pakistan Tariq Ali, 2018-06-12 Pakistan 1968: the history of a revolution Even as they were taking place, the events that shook Pakistan in 1968–69 were underplayed in the Western media. Following a long period of tumult, a radical coalition—led by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto—brought down the military regime of Field Marshal Ayub Khan, just as it was celebrating its tenth “glorious” anniversary. Students, soon joined by workers and later by virtually every subaltern social stratum (including sex workers), took on the state apparatus of a corrupt and decaying military dictatorship created and backed by the United States. They were joined by workers, lawyers, white-collar employees, and, despite severe repression, they won. The fundamentalist party Jamaat-i-Islami opposed the movement and faced complete isolation. The most popular chants were “Socialism is on the way” and “Food, clothes, shelter.” Ayub was forced to resign. His weak-kneed successor had to permit the country’s first general election, probably the freest in its tormented history. In his riveting account, written in 1970 in the white heat of events, Tariq Ali offers an eyewitness perspective, showing that this powerful popular movement was the sole real victory of the 1960s revolutionary wave. The election cracked open all the contradictions of the old state, as Ali had predicted. The military and the West Pakistani ruling elite refused to accept the results and embarked on a civil war. The result was the birth of a new state, as East Pakistan broke away to become Bangladesh. |
| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Paris to the Moon Adam Gopnik, 2001-12-18 Paris. The name alone conjures images of chestnut-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés, breathtaking façades around every corner--in short, an exquisite romanticism that has captured the American imagination for as long as there have been Americans. In 1995, Adam Gopnik, his wife, and their infant son left the familiar comforts and hassles of New York City for the urbane glamour of the City of Light. Gopnik is a longtime New Yorker writer, and the magazine has sent its writers to Paris for decades--but his was above all a personal pilgrimage to the place that had for so long been the undisputed capital of everything cultural and beautiful. It was also the opportunity to raise a child who would know what it was to romp in the Luxembourg Gardens, to enjoy a croque monsieur in a Left Bank café--a child (and perhaps a father, too) who would have a grasp of that Parisian sense of style we Americans find so elusive. So, in the grand tradition of the American abroad, Gopnik walked the paths of the Tuileries, enjoyed philosophical discussions at his local bistro, wrote as violet twilight fell on the arrondissements. Of course, as readers of Gopnik's beloved and award-winning Paris Journals in The New Yorker know, there was also the matter of raising a child and carrying on with day-to-day, not-so-fabled life. Evenings with French intellectuals preceded middle-of-the-night baby feedings; afternoons were filled with trips to the Musée d'Orsay and pinball games; weekday leftovers were eaten while three-star chefs debated a culinary crisis. As Gopnik describes in this funny and tender book, the dual processes of navigating a foreign city and becoming a parent are not completely dissimilar journeys--both hold new routines, new languages, a new set of rules by which everyday life is lived. With singular wit and insight, Gopnik weaves the magical with the mundane in a wholly delightful, often hilarious look at what it was to be an American family man in Paris at the end of the twentieth century. We went to Paris for a sentimental reeducation-I did anyway-even though the sentiments we were instructed in were not the ones we were expecting to learn, which I believe is why they call it an education. |

Even as Muhammad lay dying, the battle over who would take control of the new Islamic nation had begun, beginning a succession crisis marked by power grabs, assassination, political intrigue, and passionate faith. Soon Islam was embroiled in civil war, pitting its founder's controversial wife Aisha against his son-in-law Ali, and shattering Muhammad’s ideal of unity. Combining meticulous research with compelling storytelling, After the Prophet explores the volatile intersection of religion and politics, psychology and culture, and history and current events. It is an indispensable guide to the depth and power of the Shia–Sunni split. |

Ronaldo also claimed to have no regard for his manager and that certain people at the club don't want him there. WHY HAS RONALDO SPOKEN OUT NOW? Ronaldo's intention was for this to be the message that was communicated before the Premier League took a break for the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo knew his Manchester United career was gone as soon as his dramatic sit-down interview with Piers Morgan aired. That was very certainly the whole goal of the ruse: to force the Portuguese forward out of Old Trafford after a rough season. The Glazers are unconcerned about the team. Cristiano Ronaldo launched a scathing attack on Manchester United's American owners. |
| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Battle Scars Jason Fox, 2018-11-01 THE EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. 'The most important book you'll ever read... Battle Scars will save lives.' TOM MARCUS, author of SOLDIER SPY Battle Scars tells the story of Jason Fox's career as an elite operator, from the gunfights, hostage rescues, daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service, to a very different kind of battle that awaited him at home. After more than two decades of active duty, Foxy was diagnosed with complex PTSD, forcing him to leave the military brotherhood and confront the hard reality of what follows. What happens when you become your own enemy? How do you keep on fighting when life itself no longer feels worth fighting for? Unflinchingly honest, Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery, and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield. --- 'A vivid, searing account of a life at war.' BEAR GRYLLS 'A must read.' ANT MIDDLETON, bestselling author of FIRST MAN IN. --- What readers are saying: 'Outstanding' ***** 'Inspiring' ***** 'Courageous' ***** 'Remarkable' ***** 'An absolute must-read' ***** --- Life Under Fire, Jason Fox's powerful and inspiring new book is OUT NOW |
| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Khullam Khulla Rishi Kapoor, 2017-01-15 Son of a famous father. Father of a famous son. I am the hyphen between them. Only, Rishi Kapoor was and is so much more. Few actors in Hindi cinema have had this sort of a career arc: from the gawky adolescent pining for his schoolteacher (Mera Naam Joker, 1970) to the naughty ninety-year-old (Kapoor & Sons, 2016), Rishi Kapoor has regaled audiences for close to fifty years. He won a National Award for his debut, became an overnight sensation with his first film as a leading man (Bobby, 1973), and carved a niche for himself with a string of romantic musical blockbusters in an era known for its angst-ridden films. He was the youth icon that is still the toast of the satellite TV circuit. The songs he lip-synced are the bread and butter of all radio stations even today. Then there was the second coming after a brief hiatus in the 1990s - as one of the finest actors in mainstream Hindi cinema with powerhouse performances in films like Do Dooni Chaar, D-Day, Agneepath and others.Characteristically candid, Rishi Kapoor brings Punjabi brio to the writing of Khullam Khulla. This is as up close and personal a biography as any fan could have hoped for. He writes about growing up in the shadow of a legendary father, skipping school to act in Mera Naam Joker, the workings of the musical hits of the era, an encounter with Dawood Ibrahim, his heroines (their working relationship, the gossip and the frisson that was sometimes real), his approach to his craft, his tryst with clinical depression, and more. A foreword by Ranbir Kapoor and a stirring afterword by Neetu Singh bookend the warmest, most dil se biography an Indian star has ever penned. |
| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Behind Closed Doors Gary Lineker, Danny Baker, 2019-09-19 ***Includes a new foreword by Gary Lineker about football in lockdown*** Shortlisted for The Telegraph Sports Book Awards 'Lineker is nearly as good a presenter as I was a footballer' DIEGO MARADONA 'Hilarious, almost as funny as me' ALAN SHEARER 'This is Lineker unleashed. As a non-football nut I didn't expect to enjoy it, but between laddish anecdotes are passages of sudden tenderness. . . Lineker opens up, dislodging memories and reflections, not just about football but his whole life.' THE TIMES _______________________________________________________________ 'Football is a simple game. 22 players chase a ball for 90 minutes, and at the end the Germans always win.' This book is inspired by the stories Danny and I have shared with each other about what life in football is really like: in the dressing room, in the commentary box, on the pitch and - with the appropriate pixellation - in the showers afterwards. What's it really like to play with Messi? I wouldn't know, but I have starred alongside him in an advert for Walkers crisps. And, well, his performance was world-class. And what is a life in football really like? You won't learn much from the dull-as-dishwater post-match interviews - it's a world of secrets, superstitions, laughs and personalities, and let me tell you, half of it you won't believe. I've looked back at my playing days, from England to Leicester, Everton to Barcelona, Tottenham to, er, Nagoya Grampus Eight, and shared the chaotic behind-the-scenes secrets of Match of the Day - and Danny has chipped in with stories from a lifetime following the game as a fan. From Italia '90 to Leicester's Premier League fairytale, from yellow cards to World Cup trophies (I've never been awarded either), from Gascoigne to Maradona, you'll find it all here - everything you always wanted to know about football, but didn't realise that you did. Inspired by the No.1 podcast Behind Closed Doors |

| ronaldo interview with piers morgan full: Tea at the Midland David Constantine, 2013-11-29 **WINNER of the 2013 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award** **WINNER of the BBC National Short Story Prize** 'The excellence of the collection is fractal: the whole book is excellent, and every story is excellent, and every paragraph is excellent, and every sentence is excellent. And, unlike some literary fiction, it's effortless to read.' - The Independent on Sunday ‘Perhaps the finest of contemporary writers in this form.’ – The Reader To the woman watching they looked like grace itself, the heart and soul of which is freedom. It pleased her particularly that they were attached by invisible strings to colourful curves of rapidly moving air. How clean and clever that was! You throw up something like a handkerchief, you tether it and by its headlong wish to fly away, you are towed along... Like the kite-surfers in this opening scene, the characters in David Constantine’s fourth collection are often delicately caught in moments of defiance. Disregarding their age, their family, or the prevailing political winds, they show us a way of marking out a space for resistance and taking an honest delight in it. Witness Alphonse – having broken out of an old people’s home, changed his name, and fled the country – now pedalling down the length of the Rhône, despite knowing he has barely six months to live. Or the clergyman who chooses to spend Christmas Eve – and the last few hours in his job – in a frozen, derelict school, dancing a wild jig with a vagrant called Goat. Key to these characters’ defiance is the power of fiction, the act of holding real life at arm’s length and simply telling a story – be it of the future they might claim for themselves, or the imagined lives of others. Like them, Constantine’s bewitching, finely-wrought stories give us permission to escape, they allow us to side-step the inexorable traffic of our lives, and beseech us to take possession of the moment. |
