    Footballers always use this secret coded message when they want to flirt on Instagram, says stunning influencer

    FOOTBALLERS use coded messages to flirt with women they fancy online, a Spanish model has claimed.Raquel Reitx, who has over 500,000 followers on Instagram, says the athletes use the same tactic when trying to speak with her and others.

    Footballers will typically delete the flame emoji comment when they’re not approached for a chat, Reitx claimsCredit: https://www.instagram.com/raquelreitx/
    And she assumes it is something the footy stars have agreed upon.
    Reitx told El Podcast de Druni: “I reckon that in the dressing rooms they have openly agreed how to do it.
    “They all do the same thing. They send a ‘fire’ emoji, but they don’t react to the story.
    “They send it. If you don’t answer them, they delete it. Always the same.”

    She added that she believes there are a couple of reasons for the tactic.

    One would be that footballers don’t need to work too hard to get a response due to their celebrity status.
    And the other is that the fire emoji can be interpreted in a number of different ways and doesn’t necessarily give away their intentions.
    But Reitx says that she herself has never been with a footballer, and that she finds these attempts to chat on social media “uninteresting”.

    She commented: “I have never been one to get with people from social networks.
    “In fact, those who I’ve been with, I’ve met them before in person than on networks.
    “I’m not good at it. In addition, it is difficult for me to answer on WhatsApp, how difficult is it going to be for me to respond to direct messages.
    “I have never had anything with a footballer. They don’t attract my attention.
    “Especially with these uninteresting attempts to get women to talk to them. Not for me.”

    But his former club and country team-mate Steven Gerrard has now gone over to the Middle East to manage Al-Ettifaq. 
    So Ferdinand said in a social media video: “Jamie. Jamie Carragher. Where are you, man?
    “I heard a lot of talk, a lot of negativity about Saudi. Oh, Bernardo Silva, I can’t believe it. It’s a disgrace, it needs investigating, this league, etc.
    “Steven Gerrard’s gone. You used to carry his boots and his bag at Anfield to games.

    “Your boy’s gone over there and I’ve not heard a peep out of you. I’ve not heard how disappointed you are.
    “I want to see him say, ‘I can’t believe Stevie’s gone there’. I’m actually buzzing for any of the guys that have gone out to Saudi.
    “Because it’s Saudi, people are going mad, but all these other countries and leagues over the years have done exactly the same thing.”
    It sparked a Twitter feud between the pair, who spent years rivalling on the pitch for Liverpool and Manchester United.

    Carragher responded: “Never criticised Silva, Benzema, Neves or SG, I don’t like Saudi trying to buy football like they have Golf.
    “I knew you’d be all over it @rioferdy5 like you were in Qatar!Thats why you refused to do the opening game for @BBCMOTD didn’t want to criticise your paymaster!”
    Ferdinand then denied ever being approached to host the winter World Cup opening match, where Gary Lineker criticised the Qatari hosts.
    He replied: “Fake news @Carra23 I’m a man that embraces all cultures – join the club, no need to fabricate James !
    “I was never asked to do the opener. I never saw uproar from you and others when the PL, serie A, PSG, Barca, RM, Russia etc we’re plucking the best talent from other leagues…keep the same energy!!”
    Carrahger wrote back: “I wasn’t fabricating I was told that by a few people, probably what happened with you over the Qataris buying Man United a few weeks ago!
    “If you think the Saudi league buying players is the same as the other leagues we will have to disagree!!”
    Ferdinan hit back: “The facts are…. You disrespected the league / country / culture but kept (quiet) when ur 2 boys Stevie / Fowler went 10 days later.”
    Ending the argument, Carragher posted: “You’re going back to tweet one! You’re so desperate for a gig out there.”

    Vinicus’ recent Instagram story in a Sao Paulo hotel sparked the dating rumoursCredit: INSTAGRAM@VINIJR
    Alves posted a picture in exactly the same room an hour after the Real Madrid starCredit: INSTAGRAM@KEYALVES
    The gossip started after their followers noticed they posted Instagram story updates from the same hotel room in Sao Paulo.
    Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Jr shared a selfie of himself in a walk-in wardrobe in the luxury hotel with his 40 million followers on Wednesday.
    A green umbrella and a £2,500 Louis Vuitton suitcase were visible in Vini’s selfie.
    Alves posted a similar selfie in a walk-in closet which looked identical to the one Vinicius Jr was in a mere hour after the Brazil international’s post.
    And followers of the duo noticed the same green umbrella hanging on the wall in Vinicus’ story was in Alves’.
    Alves’ heroics on the volleyball pitch and sexy snaps on social media have earned her a staggering 11.9million Instagram followers.
    Several of the Brazilian beauty’s followers have splashed the cash to subscribe to her OnlyFans, which she claims earns her a whopping “50 TIMES” more than she pockets from volleyball.
    The 23-year-old recently told Marca: “Whether I like it or not, virtual platforms today are my biggest income.

    “I earn about 50 times more with them than with volleyball.
    “And more in OnlyFans, because the monthly price is fixed.”
    Vincius Jr was recently in Rio following the local government’s approval of the “Vini Jr law” – which will see sporting events suspended or stopped entirely if athletes suffer racial abuse.
    The 22-year-old, who was the repeated subject of vile abuse in La Liga last season, said at a ceremony at the Maracana: “Today is a very special day and I hope my family is very proud.
    “I am very young and I didn’t expect that I would be receiving this tribute.”
    “Sometimes I wonder if I deserve so much,” added Vinicius, who moved from Flamengo to Real in 2018.
    “I didn’t expect so many awards and to receive all this affection at the Maracana, where I attended and played so many Flamengo matches.” More

    But her latest Instagram post reflects that she is first and foremost a footballer – and has hit back at people criticising her looks on Instagram.
    Howell shared a couple of bare-faced selfies alongside a very open caption about dealing with trolls online.
    She wrote: “So I am trying to be more real with you guys… and let you see me for who I really am and not just through a picture.

    “I had comments of people saying they could eat on my chin, or that I’m narcissist because I wore Nivea lip balm in a football game and they thought it was red lipstick🤣.
    “FOR ANYONE that truly knows me would know I live and breathe football, I could tell you teams in SCEFL league let alone league 1 and 2… I could tell you the history of Tottenham not winning a poxy trophy… 🤣.
    “However, I used to say it never got to me and I’m thick skinned, I am for sure.. but when you’re having a bad day (which is only human) and you go on social media, and see things as such you just start doubting yourself.
    “I’ve changed so much about me at times because I had a bad day saw a comment and it got in my head but I’ve come to realise that no matter what I do or say someone is going to dislike it and that’s ok.

    “I am not saying it’s all I get because it’s not, I don’t go out of my way to look either but it’s easy to see at times if you’re just scrolling through notifications…
    “I do get a lot of lovely comments also which I am beyond grateful for.
    “All I’m asking is think about what you say before you say it… It’s ok not to like what I do, wear, look or say but I am still a human being… Thank you 💜”.
    Howell is a massive Spurs fan as well as being a semi-professional footballer and has shared snaps from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in the past.
    A number of fans were quick to post supportive messages in Howell’s comment section.

    Another added: “These people should see some of the last ditch tackles and that back heel goal line clearance !!! X”.
    While a third wrote: “they wouldn’t know about your footballing life. you absolute baller😅😍”.
    A fellow Spurs fan jokingly responded to Gabby’s quip that Spurs don’t win trophies and wrote: “Seen Spurs win plenty but then I am old 😭”
