Playing football is a job. If he can convince his employer to give him a month off in the middle of the season while getting paid, more power to him.

of course legally it's a stretch but kinda agree with the principle, the question alone speaks volumes about the dedication of the guy. unless it's a personal issue like dunno, his brother has a fatal illness or something, i don't even see a reason for asking. they'll have a summer break in half a year ffs.

I fail to understand what's the controversy here.

If one month off is all it takes to keep Sean Longstaff happy and at your club for a little longer, you do it.

And besides, there's more to life than football.

It would be ridiculous to expect him to be there every single week for just 3M euros a year.

You just got Massimo DiCulo'ed.

The guy who wrote that top comment is the first one who came up with the tweet as a joke (just look at his bio) and now it spread everywhere.

I thought everyone knew it was a joke and just playing along with it lol

Saw it on twitter at the time and it was being quoted by all the troll accounts on twitter to farm engagements. It seems it worked lol

i follow just a very few selected accounts just to avoid these kind of jokes. i didn't see it quoted by anyone, just that single post. the lack of source should have been a red flag. it was a good giggle anyway

Vicario is currently outperforming others in the league according to FI.
I barely watched him this season (about 45 minutes). Is he really doing that well?
