It was important to take stock after the first cycle of matches. (...) We know that the season will be difficult and we know why, but we must not just think about this season. I needed to convey the message that we were not only working for the short term but also for next season. I wanted to understand the medium-term vision of the new management and club so that OM could regain a status that suits it. I was reassured. We are aligned with my sports management and my president. We have the same ideas and the same short-term view to get out, not of the crisis but of a difficult situation. We have ideas to think about in the medium term. Bruno Genesio warned: nothing will be easy for his team even if they are favorites against the promoted Troyes team. #OM #Ligue1 #BrunoGenesio (translated)

Instant Foot reported that Cristiano Ronaldo wished to continue playing for Portugal. According to the summary of his statement published by the account, he had considered leaving the national team after the 2026 World Cup and prepared a farewell letter, before the president of the Federation convinced him to stay. Ronaldo is said to have approved Jorge Jesus's appointment as coach and accepted a specific plan for his playing time, without challenging the sporting choices. The disagreement is said to have erupted during a match in Norway: Jesus reportedly asked him to prepare to play for 30 minutes, then ultimately did not bring him in. Ronaldo reportedly acknowledged reacting poorly by not greeting the supporters and apologized to them. After a meeting with the coach and Simão Coutinho, Jesus reportedly privately acknowledged having made a mistake and promised to publicly explain that Ronaldo had not demanded anything and had always behaved exemplary. Ronaldo reportedly believed the coach did not uphold his word during his press conference and indicated that this breach of trust led him to leave the gathering. He reportedly acknowledged that his departure was a mistake, apologized to his teammates, and said he would accept any potential sanction from the Federation. He reportedly added that his status as captain should even be considered an aggravating circumstance. Finally, Ronaldo reportedly specified that he was not requesting special treatment or an immediate farewell match and that he would remain available for Portugal as long as he was fit, performing well with his club, and free from suspension. #CristianoRonaldo #ÉquipePortugaise #Football (translated)

M8 Shun wrote that he felt some people harbored strong hostility towards M8, which he attributed perhaps to jealousy or fear. He stated that the club had been criticized for three years, especially due to clips taken out of context, and that its leaders and fans were the target of insults or accusations of racism, with some supporters also depicted as 12-year-old children. He added that Gentlemates would continue to grow and become the largest esports club in the world. Despite sporting and extra-sporting difficulties, he wrote, true fans would remain present. #M8WIN #Esport #M8WIN #Gentlemates (translated)

Akhenaton Officiel criticized the school hours mentioned by Édouard Philippe after student complaints. He argued that the weeks from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, the numerous homework assignments, and the exams on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings deprived young people of social, cultural, and sporting lives and contributed to a tense and anxious society. He asserted that these hours did not guarantee a better academic level and that neighboring European countries outperformed France in terms of numbers, even though their classes ended at 1:30 PM. He also advocated for more resources, modern materials, and suitable facilities for teachers and students, rather than helping large companies or rearming the country to the tune of hundreds of billions. According to him, decisions regarding resources were made upstream. #éducation #société #réforme (translated)

LFI will tell us that this enthusiasm for strengthening sports education is great. But when will the evidence finally establish itself? This is not a "high school movement of claims." Maximum authority against these delinquents. Weakness, ambiguity, hesitation catalyze abuses and stoke the flames. It is urgent that we restore order in our country. There is a vital urgent need for France. #ÉducationSportive #France #Sécurité (translated)
