"My name is not Fabinho. My name is Fabio – Fabio Tavares – but in Brazil we put ‘inho’ in every name, so they started to call me Fabinho and until today I’m Fabinho."

“I asked my mum when I started my career what she preferred – Fabinho or Fabio – and she said Fabinho, so I stayed with Fabinho."

It's not rare for footballers, especially those who hail from the football-crazy streets of South America, to have a shorter name. It is, after all, hard to imagine a footballer really being named 'Hulk'.Givanildo Vieira de Sousa was given the moniker due to his resemblance to actor Lou Ferrigno, who played the Incredible Hulk on a TV Show in the 1970s. Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, or simply 'Kaka' is another such example.'Fabinho' is inarguably a sobriquet solely associated with Liverpool's No. 3. The decision to add '-inho' to his name seems to have paid off.However, he hasn't been in the best of form for Liverpool this campaign. He will hope to redeem himself in the coming weeks after being named in manager Tite's 26-man Brazil squad for Qatar.

A lot of things are said about Enrique's selection but it isn't suprising at all. He has gone with a group of players that have regularly played since Euros. Ramos and De Gea are dropped because they didn't play a single game in last two years. Thiago missed majority of games due to injury. And to be fair to lads they have done pretty well reaching Euros SF losing on penalties after that they have been pretty decent in Nations League as well. Furthermore,there hasn't been a player who has bursted to the scene like Haaland or Mbappe for Spain. All and all they are a good scene but attack is pretty weak.

Pep Guardiola: "I don't know how many we have for Liverpool in Carabao Cup. Riyad Mahrez unfortunately doesn't go, Erling Haaland, Sergio Gomez, Rico Lewis. The rest go to World Cup. If they go through group stage, last-16, quarter finals. Then they have days off."

"If players don't go through the group stage, they will be able to play against Liverpool. If not, we will see. After the World Cup, we're here to train. Liverpool game, how many players we have, these ones, okay..."

🇪🇸 Luis Enrique on Spain FIFA World Cup squad.

🎙️“This is my selection and that of my staff. We're not going to die of fear, I guarantee it. There is no doubt that you are going to see Spain. We will try to control the game, dominate and produce more than the rival.”

After looking at the Spain squad it feels like they are going to play a friendly game with Zimbabwe 😂😂

Lebese: Soweto derby is not an ordinary game, it is war

Former Kaizer Chiefs star George Lebese has predicted the outcome of this weekend's Soweto derby while sharing his own experience of playing in the most high-profile fixture on the South African football calendar.

"It's an electrifying feeling. It's very hard to find the words to describe how it feels while playing in that match. It's like your soul leaves your body," Lebese told the media.

"The feeling is more than the words I have to describe it, but it's special. If the game is on Saturday, you can feel it from the Monday that this is not a normal game coming," he says.

"The training is different, the concentration levels are higher. There are already supporters coming to the training camps, or people driving and flying down from around the country for the game, wanting to experience the vibe of the derby. As a player, going around and seeing that, and with all the media attention, it tells you how important the game is.

"And then it's war on the day. I know most of the players, we do speak to each other as rivals at other times, but derby week is the week where I don't know you and you don't know me. It's just war.
