Ícone da NFL, Tom Brady fez críticas à postura profissional de Wayne Rooney enquanto o ex-jogador britânico foi técnico do Birmingham City. Brady, que é sócio minoritário do clube, expressa as preocupações em um novo documentário da Amazon Prime, previsto para estrear nesta sexta-feira. Durante a produção, o heptacampeão do Super Bowl comenta a colegas que está “um pouco preocupado com a ética de trabalho do nosso treinador”.

— Não sei, não tenho um bom pressentimento quanto a isso — diz ele.
As declarações de Brady surgem após uma visita ao centro de treinamento do Birmingham, em novembro de 2023. No mesmo episódio, ele descreve os jogadores como “preguiçosos e mimados”. Os diálogos entre o ex-quarterback e Rooney, registrados pelas câmeras, revelam momentos de evidente desconforto.
Em uma das conversas, o ex-atacante de Everton e Manchester United expõe ao dirigente algumas das dificuldades culturais que, segundo ele, impactavam o desempenho do time.
— A razão de estarmos na Championship, e não na Premier League, é o foco — disse Rooney. — Todos sabemos chutar uma bola, correr, passar… mas manter a concentração por 90 minutos é o diferencial.
Brady também analisou o turbulento primeiro ano da nova gestão.
— Recebemos conselhos para não fazer mudanças radicais de imediato, que havia tempo. E o que fizemos? Exatamente o contrário — comentou.
O rebaixamento ao fim da temporada 2023–24 marcou apenas a terceira vez na História em que o clube ficou de fora das duas divisões principais do futebol inglês. Brady responsabilizou o elenco pelos resultados.
— Trocamos o treinador, então o problema agora são os jogadores. O técnico não entra em campo para marcar gols — disse. — Eles eram preguiçosos, se achavam no direito de tudo… E quando se junta preguiça com arrogância, o fracasso é quase certo. Precisamos eliminar todos os que têm mentalidade perdedora. Este verão será de grandes mudanças.
Na sequência, o clube investiu 30 milhões de libras em reforços — um recorde na League One. No ano seguinte, a resposta veio: o Birmingham somou 111 pontos, estabelecendo um novo recorde de pontuação na Football League e garantindo o título da terceira divisão.
Em outro momento da série, Brady tem dificuldade para encontrar o centro de treinamento do clube.
— Esse é o dono, e ele nem sabe onde fica o CT — brinca o assessor do astro, Ben Rawitz.
A série traça paralelos com o Wrexham, clube galês que ascendeu três divisões desde que foi comprado pelos atores Ryan Reynolds e Rob McElhenney. Tom Wagner, sócio de Brady, descarta comparações.
— Eles fizeram um ótimo trabalho em destacar um clube pequeno. Mas o Birmingham já é um time grande. Nossas ambições são maiores — ressalta. Nosso objetivo não é o Wrexham. Queremos enfrentar o Aston Villa na Premier League.

West Ham academy graduate Potts realising his lifelong Hammers dream
When Freddie Potts starts for West Ham in the Premier League, they don't lose.Yes, the sample size is small, their last three games were against Newcastle, Burnley and Bournemouth, and many factors have contributed to West Ham’s turn in form, but Potts is certainly one of them. For Potts, one of those factors is more "fight", and he’s certainly had to battle to get himself in the first team. Loans to Wycombe and Portsmouth in the previous two seasons have turned the academy product from more than just a tidy footballer, but a player ready to hack it physically at the top level. Sunday 30th November 1:00pm Kick off 2:05pm Since coming into the team against Newcastle, no player has made more tackles for West Ham than Potts (9), and only El Hadji Malick Diouf has won more duels.Potts is […]
Stokes: England desperate to avenge ‘rubbish’ first Ashes Test performance
Ben Stokes believes some of the criticism of his England team has gone overboard, but would rather be called "rubbish" than "arrogant".A two-day defeat in the first Ashes Test in Perth last week led to plenty of difficult questions for the tourists, who have come under fire for their pre-series preparations, loose shot selection and the decision not to send senior players to this weekend's pink ball warm-up match in Canberra. Former Australia pace bowler Mitchell Johnson branded them "arrogant" in a strongly-worded column for the West Australian newspaper, which had previously branded Stokes "cocky captain complainer".
