Jose Mourinho shows frustration at Roma’s limited spending ability.
Since joining Serie A club Roma in 2021, Jose Mourinho has played a crucial role in their European success. Under his coaching, the team triumphed in the UEFA Conference League and also made it to the final of the Europa League. However, presently, Roma finds themselves grappling with a few setbacks. Mourinho expressed his exasperation about the club’s limited spending capability in the transfer market, considering their present position in the top four race. Furthermore, the team is also facing several challenges due to injuries and suspensions. As he grumbles about Roma’s lackluster transfer windows, he finds himself drawing comparisons between his situation and Pep’s at Manchester City, marvelling at their unparalleled knack for acquiring and replacing players.
🔵 José Mourinho: “Not that I'm jealous, but Man City paid €80 million for Kalvin Phillips and now Pep has said it would be better for him to leave…”.
“So he’ll leave and they'll get someone else. Our reality is very different. It’s not easy for us to sign one player!”. pic.twitter.com/wmBOVo4C6A

The NBA is set to suspend Draymond Green indefinitely for violent conducts.
Throughout his career, Draymond Green, the Center for the Golden State Warriors, has gained notoriety for his aggressive behaviour towards both his teammates and opponents. Recently, Green faced consequences for his actions, resulting in a five-game suspension after he choked Rudy Gobert, the star player for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately, Green’s misconduct did not end there, as he received a flagrant 2 foul in the Warriors’ 119-116 defeat against the Phoenix Suns for striking Nurkić. Green’s endless streaks of violence on the court have led to the NBA taking drastic action by imposing an indefinite suspension. In order to regain his rights to play, Green must fulfill specific conditions set by both the league and his team.
