      I’ve received WhatsApp messages from Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury because of what I said about them – the truth hurts

      by

      CARL FROCH has received messages from both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury after he slammed the heavyweight pair.The former unified super-middleweight champion is no stranger to sharing his opinions on the British bruisers – which he’s done in numerous interviews and on his podcast.

      And he claims Joshua – who he’s been in a public war of words with over the last few months – has taken umbrage to his comments to the point where he’s angrily messaged him.
      He told The Daily Star: “I have no personal animosity with him, but when I speak on my channel – Froch on Fighting, it’s the best YouTube channel out there – I just try to be honest.
      “I say what the fans are thinking and sometimes it hurts people. They know the truth hurts.”
      Froch claims Joshua quickly deletes his WhatsApp tirades before he gets the chance to read them.

      The 46-year-old added: “I have had three or four messages from AJ.
      “But he has deleted them before I could see them on WhatsApp. That’s a true story.”
      WBC heavyweight champion Fury has also taken exception to Froch’s recent comments about his upcoming fight with MMA star Francis Ngannou.
      The Cobra revealed: “Tyson Fury messaged me the other day, just to justify the Ngannou fight, which is just about the money, but we know that anyway.

      “I have had a couple of messages but it’s all friendly, no nasty stuff.
      “The only person who was ever nasty was George Groves.”
      Froch’s recent gripe with Joshua stems from the former two-time unified heavyweight champion’s comments about his separation from long-time trainer Robert McCracken.
      Froch said: “He recently parted company with Rob McCracken which I have got no problem with at all.
      “But when he starts saying things like he has wasted his best years with Rob McCracken and he’s got to make up for lost time.

      “I think, ‘Come on, he took you to Olympic gold, he took you to multiple world titles which you defended.
      “‘You didn’t win it all; you lost to Ruiz and lost the rematch to Usyk with your new coach.
      “Have some respect.'”

      Joshua, 33, will be back in action a week on Saturday in a domestic dust-up with long-time rival Dillian Whyte.
      Fury’s controversial crossover clash with Ngannou, meanwhile, will take place in Saudi Arabia on October 28. More

      Ferdinand, 44, admitted that there is an existing WhatsApp group for the United stars that won the 2008 Champions League, so they can keep in touch.
      Some of the players from the group played key roles in the Red Devils’ success under Sir Alex Ferguson between 2006 and 2013.
      The club picked up five Premier League titles in the period and reached three Champions League finals, losing in 2009 and 2011.
      The retired defender admitted that some of the people in the group are club legends such as Wayne Rooney, Darren Fletcher, Nani and Evra.

      However, Evra, 41, is the target of some brutal banter between the former team-mates, leading to him coming in and out of the group.
      Ferdinand said on The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan: “Evra just comes in and out because he gets bullied in there.
      “He gets ripped and all you see is, ‘Patrice has left the group’.
      “And then you get a text a couple of hours later, ‘Can you let me back in please, add me, add me’.”

      Ferdinand was then asked by host Gilligan about the famous white suit that he wore when he was announced as a Man United player in 2002.
      He responded by sending a voice note to the WhatsApp group asking if he should bring it back, to which Evra replied: “Bro, this is fire, you have to wear it!”
      Evra sent the message directly to Ferdinand as to avoid being targeted in the group chat.
      Ferdinand said: “So, he’s come outside of the group because he knows if he says that inside of the group, they’ll kill him.
      “He’ll be told to get out of the group.”
      Ferdinand wore the suit following his record transfer move from Leeds to Manchester United for £29.1million.

      The existence of the group chat came to light last year, when Nikita Mazepin revealed he’d been booted out of it on the same day as his Haas axing.
      Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate George Russell is a chat admin, and lifted the lid on what goes on while appearing on The Fast and the Curious podcast.
      He said: “There is a WhatsApp group.
      “I mean it’s not like we’re sending banter in there day after day but there are occasions where something may have happened on track and suddenly people are sending memes in and whatever and it gets a bit out of control.”

      McLaren star Lando Norris then revealed what the group chat icon is.
      Giggling, he said: “James Hunt as the group photo.”
      He then revealed: “It’s true [the group exists].
      “It’s not so much like ‘hey, we’re all mates’. It’s a lot more for talking about things that can help us as drivers in terms of rules, regulations, it’s more like how can we represent ourselves?

      “I don’t know how much [George] revealed, he’s like the head of it.”
      Norris, 23, then went on: “It’s a little bit of everyone.
      “We are all kind of chatting and working together to come up with different ideas.
      “We’ve got Esteban [Ocon], we got Zhou [Guanyu], we’ve got Alex [Albon]. Everyone chats in it [but] I can’t find any memes.”
      All members of the Grand Prix Drivers Association [GPDA] are part of the chat.
      Sebastian Vettel, who retired at the end of last season, played a key role.
      While Hamilton has been a member of the GPDA since 2009.

      The loss left them 14 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and nine short of Manchester City in second place.
      However, before the demolition at the hands of Liverpool, the United squad sent WhatsApp messages to each other about the possibility of winning the Quadruple.
      The Daily Mail claim that the players had spoken about catching the league’s top two although that may seem like a step too far now.
      United remain in the hunt for the Europa League and FA Cup to add to their Carabao Cup trophy this season.

      They face Spanish side Real Betis in the last 16 in Europe and in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup they play Fulham at Old Trafford.
      The report also suggests that despite the loss bringing Man Utd back down to earth with a bang, manager Erik ten Hag stressed he didn’t want the result to ruin their campaign.
      The boss is expected to punish the players for a poor performance and he supposedly made his team be silent and listen to the celebratory noise coming from the Liverpool dressing room.
      He also called the players to the Carrington training ground at 9am the day after the defeat to analyse the game and make them angry, with Ten Hag there from 7am.

      In the aftermath of the defeat, David De Gea wrote a message to fans to reassure them the team will respond.

      A thumping 4-1 win over South Korea, in particular, reinforced in many people’s minds that Brazil were world champions in waiting.
      However, they crashed out in the quarter-finals to 2018 finalists Croatia on penalties.
      Neymar opened the scoring in extra-time with a wonderful finish, but his strike was cancelled out by Bruno Petkovic minutes before full-time.
      Croatia won the penalty shootout 4-2 with all four of their takers scoring.

      However, two missed for Brazil, including Neymar’s Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos, who hit the post.
      Now, Neymar has shared several of his WhatsApp conversations with his team-mates on his social media platform.
      The 30-year-old wrote: “I decided to expose (without their permission) the messages to see how much we wanted to win and how united we were.
      “These were some of the many messages I exchanged with the group.

      “We are feeling very sad, but we have to be stronger to keep going and I am I’m sure that, with the support of all the fans, we’ll come back stronger.
      “I’m Brazilian with a lot of pride, with a lot of love!”
      To close pal Marquinhos on his penalty miss, Neymar said: “A penalty will not change what I think of you.”
      Marquinhos replied: “I really wanted everything to go well. But you have to be strong, give it time and see what football has in store for us.”
      Chelsea defender Thiago Silva, 38, has won pretty much everything there is to win in football.
      Eight league titles across Italy and France, 18 domestic cups, a Champions League and a Copa America.
      But bowing out of the World Cup – expected to be his last – makes Silva tearful.
      Neymar told Silva: “I really wanted to give you this Cup.”
      Silva replied: “Brother, it’s more f***** up than I imagined, really. I can’t stand it. I can’t believe we lost. I can’t believe it.
      “Every time I remember it makes me want to cry.”
      Neymar also tried to lift the spirits of Rodrygo, who missed in the penalty shootout.
      The Real Madrid ace took one before Neymar, who was picked as Brazil’s fifth penalty taker and never got to take one.

      Steve McManaman spills beans on Real Madrid Galacticos WhatsApp chat and ‘lonely’ legend in dressing room

      by

      STEVE MCMANAMAN has revealed that he is part of a WhatsApp group where Real Madrid’s legendary Galacticos still chat.The former England attacker, 50, left boyhood club Liverpool for the Bernabeu on a Bosman back in 1999 and went on to enjoy huge success in Spain.

      His four years at Madrid coincided with president Florentino Perez’s Galacticos era as he embarked on a spree of signing football’s most-glamourous names.
      That led to McManaman sharing the pitch with iconic names such as Brazilian stars Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, as well as Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo.
      They lifted both LaLiga and the Champions League twice during McManaman’s time there – and he still keeps in touch with his old team-mates to this day.
      Speaking on the “Quickly Kevin, Will He Score? The 90s Football Show podcast”, he said: “There is a WhatsApp group, yeah. [With] everyone really.

      “And a lot of the players I didn’t play with – a lot of the old players, if that makes sense.
      “I still play in the old boys, the veterans games, the legends games, whatever you want to call it. I still go over to play.
      “I still go over to Madrid a lot. I’m a LaLiga ambassador so I go over and see a lot of my ex-teammates.”
      He continued: “I was speaking to Luis (Figo) the other day – I still speak to him a lot, he still lives in Madrid so when I’m in Madrid I catch up with a lot of people. But yeah, there’s a lot of players in the WhatsApp group.”

      When asked who were the jokers in the group, McManaman replied: “They were all great, to be very honest. The more professional these players are, the more relaxed they are, I always feel, because they’re so confident in what they do.
      “People used to say to me, ‘Oh, what’s he like? Were there any egos? What was he like?’ And I used to just go, ‘They were brilliant’.
      “Luis was fantastic, Zizou (Zidane) was amazing – he was quiet because when he entered the dressing room he only spoke French and Italian, so he was sort of the lonely person trying to seek solace in a French speaking player.
      “When Ronaldo came in he was, of course, a bundle of energy, a breath of fresh air, always with a smile on his face. He’s a fantastic character. But the most important thing, there were no egos. Everyone got on really well.
      “And they all knew that we’ll have a laugh and a joke but as soon as we cross over the white line, it’s business, and that was the attitude that they all had.”
      McManaman left Madrid in 2003 to return to England with Manchester City but retired two years later.
      Fellow Englishman Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate would later join Madrid during that era – but it was David Beckham’s stint there that made the most headlines.

      Golden Balls, who won the title in his four seasons in Spain, was previously hailed as the only Englishman who could have played for Brazil by former Madrid pal Ronaldo Nazario.
      Beckham also left Spanish-speaking members of the Madrid squad jealous thanks to being part of the Brazilian clique at the club, according to Robinho. More
