Grandad Porro, Pep’s doubts and 5️⃣ stories to start the day | OneFootball

There you have your coffee and toast ready; we’ll take care of the rest with five perfect football stories to kick off Thursday.

🥇 Mission accomplished, Grandpa

Pedro Porro gives his grandfather the world champion’s medal and he breaks down in tears: “This is such a source of pride, you have no idea. Mission accomplished.”

If Pedro Porro’s grandfather — an absolute icon for his comments during the World Cup — is happy, then so are we. 

🤑 How much is Guardiola asking from Italy?

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Spanish coach is asking for €20 million per season to manage Italy, but the FIGC’s offer is currently around €10 million.

On top of that, Guardiola has promised his family a break, so a deal still seems a long way off. Maldini and Leonardo are working from within the federation to convince the former Manchester City boss. 

Waiting in the federation’s backup plan, if Pep doesn’t work out, are familiar names like Conte and Mancini.

🇺🇸 Griezmann is already scoring in the United States

Antoine opened his MLS account with a classy goal for Orlando City in the 0-4 win over the San Jose Earthquakes. It was his 300th club goal.

😮?💨 You almost messed it up, N’Golo...

Jamie Vardy has revealed that N'Golo Kanté was set on representing Mali at international level, but he and other Leicester players convinced him to play for France instead: “He wanted to represent Mali to honour his father’s roots. We convinced him he’d win the World Cup with France.” Good job.
