Ladies and Gents, I present you THE 🐐 LIONEL MESSI

[garciapimienta]

Argentina score already please I’m stressed

[myladyfair]

I hate everything, I'm so nervous

[sualne]

I feel a bit stupid asking this but what is a harvester and a mimic and carnis???? I really liked your art with luffy and law and found it an interesting concept but I don't understand what's going on. Is there like some text I can read???

lmao i just received this after programming a post with links im so happy you're interested in it!! you're not stupid at all!! q(≧▽≦q)💕

Vita Carnis is a horror webseries(? i think i heard ppl call it an ARG but idk about all that) on youtube, it's about an alternative universe in which creepy beings known as carnis appeared and how ppl deal and lives with them. it's about conspiracies, monsters, cults and government propaganda, the presentation of the lore is so much fun!!!

here i'm just going to copy past the post: to the people saying they might watch Vita Carnis because of my au 1: ily a whole lot

2: it's about two hours long and ongoing, season 2 just started! here's the link to the viewing order playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNc-jv3d2o0&list=PLoQCowtS-bYLdCasDSl0rMqEfcswN2L3Q there's flashing lights in a bunch of them and a list of warnings at the beginning of the videos!

and if you're spooked here two videos that summary the series and what we know about this universe:

this is the first one that introduced me to vita carnis

this one's from last month and has more on recent lore

plsss its a lot of fun (and scary) to watch!! i do recommend if you start with the summary videos to start with the first one cause it goes more in depth* despite being shorter than the other one. watching them back to back might be annoying so don't hesitate to skip a lot on the second one to the more recent info.

*or at least it feels like it + i like it, nice atmosphere idk!! again it's horror so proceed accordingly!

EDIT: and here's the wiki with info, since it's only text with still images that should be easier yet on the mind! if you want to go in chronological order start with the crawl then the trimmings ect until you reach the singularity. fellow folks with paranoia issues pls take care and don't hesitate to block the au tag if you need! ily

He felt a little self-conscious lately,H̶e̶’̶s̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶e̶d̶, so he wore his costume to make himself feel more secure.

It wasn’t too warm or too cold so his brothers let him.

Murder Drones social media au where all the drones have social media and post about their lives, including other colonies across Copper 9

Uzi ends up posting about everything that’s happening in the series and everyone outside the colony becomes convinced that she’s made some elaborate arg because there’s no way the murder drones would actually just hang out with a worker drone right??

She doesn’t realize this since she’s too busy with eldritch shenaniganry to check the response to her posts until she takes a break and realizes her follower count has. Drastically risen. And there’s people asking her how she did the special effects for her videos because they can’t find a single error.

She repeatedly tries to tell people it’s not an arg but people think she’s just in character

N doesn’t know what to think and V finds the whole situation hilarious. They also have their own accounts but don’t use theirs as much

Things get worse when Tessa hears about this, acquires a phone, gets online, and starts playing along with the arg bit, making “official” found footage videos with the help of the others (to Uzi’s unending dismay)

Even when met with overwhelming evidence that it’s not an arg, people insist that it is and the excuses get more and more ridiculous each time

Argfan123: They really went in with the special effects the episode! Good thing no one actually died.

Argfan123: man they’re really committed to the bit huh

What’s your opinion on fanart for the Luffy wants to go fly a kite ARG? I’ve been finding myself doodling it a lot when I’m bored.

OH!!! I would absolutely treasure it!!

I havent thought of this getting fanart.. hm, when posting do tag it as lwtgfk au so it doesn’t flood the main tag i’m using for my comic! ^v^

You're into Welcome Home (the puppet show/ARG)? Are there any AUs of it that you like? (My favorite Welcome Home AUs are the Mob AU by Clownsuu, The Greyscale AU and Crime Puppets AU by Sweetest Honeybee, and the Royalty AU by Neonross.)

Oh i L O V E welcome home. And to answer your question, i don't particularly LIKE any au's. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate any, i just dont see any that get me excited. Kinda just like how it is! But au's are great in their own right regardless!

That's all really lmao. Yeah I may have been in some shitty situations and been a dumb fuck of a kid but uh. I'm better now weehee

Also even though my account says "NSFW", it's moreso because I post/reblog (cartoon/drawn) gore and blood and violence. Yknow, creepy Grimmdark Creepypasta shit. I also post/reblog suggestive content, maybe even sexual humor, but I never post flat out porn (at least, not anymore). Do NOT follow me if you're expecting trans fetish bullshit or cheap PornHub shit. I don't do that shit.

Another thing I wanna add is that even though I'm anti-proship, I DONT CONDONE HARASSMENT AND DEATH THREATS. That's just as low as the proshippers themselves, you are no better. Most proshippers are a hive mind (teehee The Matrix reference go brr), yknow, saying the same shit; "antis should kay why ess!!", "Minors DNI unless you're an anti", "being anti [pedo, rape, incest, etc] = evangelical puritanism even though they mean actually bad shit not kink and sex in general!!", etc. They are hypocritical bastards that push and push until they can milk out "receipts" to publicly shame you.

If you're an anti but go out of your way to "prove them right about antis being horrible", you are not welcome here. You are the reason why people prefer proship rather than. You are the reason why we are seen as the "bad".

[harboneger]

I've just been sitting in a coffeeshop for a few hours sharing a table with a stranger while everyone around us watched the World Cup (ARG v. AUS). The first score of the game was electric, and honestly I can finally say that I understand football. I didn't before, everyone got so excited about these games and I just couldn't understand any of it.

There's an electricity to all of this though. You sit down and try to work and you just can't pay attention to anything else because everybody else's attention is so focused that it draws you in like a tractor beam. It felt like the best concert I've ever been to. Like the Thanksgiving parade. Like a focused project where everybody is moving together in tandem. I felt like a kid again, drawn into an experience with all the adults in the room that I've never been a part of before. I didn't know what happened but in the second that the ball hit the inside of the net I was a part of it, despite my noviceness.

I want to sit here forever in the throes of this game, even though it ended an hour ago. Go Argentina.

yes yes characters doomed by the narrative always slap BUT what about characters saved by the narrative? characters who have already given up hope and don't know they have a happy ending? characters who believe they are a lost cause, characters who feel irredeemable, characters who think there's nothing left for them, but the narrative does provide a way out? what about the characters who don't expect anything good, who don't even remember how to wish for it anymore, who get the things they need anyway? what about the characters who actively run from being saved getting saved in a way they can't stop or control. what about being saved by the narrative!!!

Nash Cup 2024 : Day ONE Reports

Court 2 3pm    Elise Romba (FRA; 91) v Alex Haydon (AUS; 68)       

Elise and Alex and both in the NASH Cup for the first time and as first match has a smaller crowd than most. If history is any indication this will change very quickly as member and spectators arrive. There is history between these players. They last faced off in 2022 with Alex winning 3-0, but the last game went to 11-9.

Their games are similar as they work up and down the side walls with length looking for an opportunity to drop. Alex does a good job pushing Elise back, but Elise has a great ut away shot from the back and is able to pick up some quick point. Elise is in control of game one moving to 9-1 as Alex struggles to find a weakness. A nice tight boast moves it to 9-2. A long rally and a series of tight drops ends with Elise going 10-2. Alex starts to gain control of the tee but the first game is too far gone and goes to Elise 11-4.

Game two opens with a long rally and Alex gains the opening point. She’s hitting more lobs and trying to Elsie in the back of the court. It’s working Elise is hitting hard but struggling to get it past Alex who drops a winner to go up 3-0. What a difference in game and strategy. 7-0 Alex. Alex goes short; Elise wins the point….back to the lob. 7-2.  Steady rally and a dead nik out 10-4 Alex. She takes game two….this is a great start.

Small commentator break as we realize that towel buckets are still a thing and we gets them out on the courts. Alex continues her momentum in game three taking a commanding 6-3 lead. Elise is challenged to get in front and going for winers when she does, but it’s not turning the game. 9-4 Alex. On last one into the tin. Match is 2-1 Alex.

Elise is a lefty, but opens game three by keeping the ball on the right wall for over a dozen shots. She may be right about Alex’s strengths, but alex is still able to hit the tight winners in the front right and moves to a 3-0 lead. Both players can hit with power and there are few errors. Elise moves the ball around catching some tight angles and is now down 4-5. A tough not let moves us to 8-4 Alex. The call was right, Alex was clear of the swing before it got their, but a hit to any momentum for Elise. The match ends 11-5.

Court 3 3pm    Brett Schille (CAN; 190) v Tom Walsh (ENG; 66)

Court 2 3:45    Jeremias Azana (ARG; 76) v Perry Malik (ENG; 94)

Perry Malik is finally making his NASH Cup debut after narrowly missing out in 2022, while Jeremias Azana is playing in his second consecutive tournament. Both players started strong, but Malik quickly found his rhythm, moving Azana into all four corners with ease and taking control of the first game. Malik's dominance was clear early on, with a 6-0 lead, including two stunning reverse boasts that brought the crowd’s approval. Azana struggled to find his length and control the T, allowing Malik to take the first game comfortably at 11-4.

Azana regrouped in the second game, starting with a quick point, but Malik responded with a brilliant shot to even it up. Azana extended a long rally to force an error from Malik, keeping it competitive. At 3-3, Malik found his stride again with a classic backcourt nick, but Azana fought back, tying the game at 5-5. A thrilling rally saw Malik take the lead, but the two players remained neck and neck, exchanging points until 7-7. Azana’s patience and skill in a long rally gave him an 8-7 lead, and both players began to find more comfort on the court, resulting in extended rallies. Malik earned a matchball at 10-9, but Azana saved it after a spectacular dive. In a nail-biting rally, Malik finally closed out the second game 11-9, going up 2-0 in games.

Azana knew he needed a strong start in the third game to stay alive, and he did just that, taking an early 2-0 lead. Malik responded to take a 3-2 lead, but Azana’s tenacity earned him a 5-3 advantage after a few unforced errors from Malik. Azana maintained his momentum, pushing up the T and increasing the pace, ultimately converting at 11-5 to take the third game. He was now firmly back in the match.

In the fourth game, Malik regrouped after an early error and took two points to go up 2-1. However, Azana took control again, moving ahead 5-2. Malik fought back to level at 7-7, taking the next point for a narrow lead. A critical error by Malik tied the game at 8-8, but a beautiful cross-drop nick from Malik put him back ahead at 9-9. With another matchball at 10-9, the crowd was on edge. Azana saved it with a brilliant forehand kill, and after two lets due to traffic, Malik earned another matchball. Azana saved it again and eventually won the game 13-11 with a series of impressive shots, pushing the match to a fifth and deciding game.

The final game began with both players locked at 3-3. Azana, pushing up higher on the T, moved Malik around the court, taking a 5-3 lead. A controversial point at 4-3 where the crowd thought the ball hit Malik was awarded to him, tying the game at 5-5. Azana then produced a series of perfect drops to reclaim the lead at 6-5. A massive rally at 7-5 ended with a questionable no-let decision, giving Azana an 8-5 lead. Malik fought back to 9-7 with some gorgeous backhand volley drops, but Azana earned himself four matchballs at 10-7. Malik saved one matchball, and after a long 60-minute rally, Azana made an error, bringing the score to 8-10. Malik saved another matchball with a backhand volley kill, bringing the score to 10-10. Malik saved a total of four matchballs, but an unforced error gave Azana another chance. Azana finally converted, winning the fifth game 12-10 in an incredible display of squash.

Court 3 3:45    Catalina Pelaez (COL; 81) v Iman Shaheen (CAN; 136)   

Iman, 19 yrs old, from Ottawa has been here 3 previous times. 

Catalina, 33, from Columbia has been here at least 5 times already.

Catalina wins the toss and the first point. At 6-4 she is providing more speed and power than her opponent but Inan's shots are keeping her in the game. The final score is 11-6 for the Columbian.

Game 2 starts with the right-handed Catalina losing the first two points to the left-handed Inan. At 4-2 a stroke is awarded to Inan for another point. They tie at 7-7. With tighter shots, Catalina continues to dominate and win with a final score of 11-7. 

Game 3 shows Catalina up 4-0 before losing a point. Mistakes are few on either side but the power and speed of Catalina takes her to victory with an 11-5 final account. 

Court 2 4:30    Katerina Tycova (GER; 99) v  Marta Dominguez (ESP; 61)

Court 3 4:30    Matthew Lai (HKG; 84) v Sanjay Jeeva (MAS; 67)

Matthew, 25, from Hong Kong, first time to this event. 

Sanjay, 25, from Malasia (Kuala Lumpur) 2nd time here, chess champion who speaks 6 languages (grew up in Belgium). 

Game 1 - Sanjay wins the toss. Long rallies follow. Twelve minutes into the game and the score is 2-2. Sanjay slowly takes the upper hand, and the score is 8-4 in his favour. A minor collision stalls the game at 10-7 and the game is decided by a stroke in Sanjay's favour ... 11-7.

Game 2 - The right-handed Matthew wins the first point against the left-handed Malasian. The speed is fast with few shots getting past the opponent. Matthew appears to be a former badminton player considering the way he jumps so high for some of the returns. The game ends in his favour at 11-5. 

Game 3 - Both shirts are very wet. Neither player has shown any sign of slowing down. They tie at 4-4. Matthew's request for a stroke is denied and it is 6-4 for Sanjay who finally wins at 11-8. 

Game 4 - New shirts. Sanjay goes up 8-0 before his streak ends. .  He wins at 11-1.

Game 5 - Games are tied at 2 each. At 5-2 for Matthew, neither is giving any ground. Sanjay excels at diving and doing the splits. 6-3 for Matthew with nothing left on the table. Its 9-5 for Matthew as Sanjay hits one out. he battles back to 10-7, then 10-8, 10-9, then 10-10! Sanja wins at 11-10. What a comeback!

Court 2 5:15    Ben Smith (ENG; 69) v Salah Eltorgman (CAN; 88)

Court 3 5:15    Asia Harris (ENG; 69) v  Wai Yhann Au Yeong (SGP; 88)    

Asia Harris, 19, from England. Coached by Nick Matthew.

Wai Yhann Au Yeong 25, from Singapore, first time here.

Game 1 - Wai goes up 3-0 before her streak is broken. A delay of game while dust is swept from the floor by our very own Al Fayad who steps up when needed. Play resumes. At 9-6, Wai is gaining ground and wins at 11-7.

Game 2- At 5-2 Asia is showing a little stronger. Her reach is an advantage as  she gets to 8-4 and ultimately wins at 11-6.

Game 3 - Again the floor is swept after Asia's concern about sliding. At 6-4 for Wai, Asia makes a few errors to her disadvantage. At 8-8 they are tied. A drop-boast gives Asia a 11-9 win. 

Game 4 - The game starts with a couple of long rallies but Wai has definitely been on the offensive up 6-2 early in the match and in this game there have been a couple of lets allowed early.  wai in this game is definitely on th3e offensive wanting to force game 5 which has happened - Wai winds 11-6.

Game 5 - this has been a hard fought match so far and it will be interesting to see if stamina comes into play in Game 5.  Both players are fighting hard in this final set and the game is tied 2-2.  And with both players still fighting hard - now tied at 5-5.  Asia's reach/height advantage definitely seems to be an advantage for her in this game - now leading 8-5.  Late in the set with the score 9-7 there is a collision but both players show great sportsmanship.  And a win for Asia 11-7 and on the lasy play Wai loosing her shoe in the final point of the game.

Court 2 6:30    Amal Izhar (CAN; 237) VS. Caroline Fouts (USA; 92)

Court 3 6:30    Yannik Omlor (GER) VS. Kareem El Torkey (EGY)

Yannik from Germany was here in London about 2 or 3 years ago and competed in the Nash Cup

This is Kareem’s - age 21 - first visit to London.  He has taken a week off school to compete here and is returning to Egypt next week to return to school.

Game 1

This is my first time attending a squash competition and i must say not knowing much about squash the men’s matches are extremely fast with longer rallies and both players seem as they are quicker than the women’s match I just watched, on the court (not meaning to sound sexist)!  

After several long rallies the score is tied 4-4 and both players seemed evenly matched.  

Kareem made a great nick, and the score is now 10-5 for Kareem.  A great final shot by Kareem and the first game is won by him 11-7.

Game 2

The second game is moving along much quicker with shorter rallies and the score is now 6-4 for Yannik.  Quick rallies and a quick game - Yannik wins 11-5.

Game 3

With the game at 2-1 for Kareem the rallies are fabulous - with so much technique being shown by both players.  

Shots that drop right at the wall followed by the players smashing the ball and both players running full out, lunging with all their might to reach and return the other players’ shots. And it shows in the score - tied 3-3 with very long rallies.  I would say the crowd watching this game seems to be cheering for Kareem to succeed.

The rallies are so exciting - both players giving it their all - and the score is now 9-9.  What a rally - the technique shown is wonderful to watch.  And Yannik wins this set 11-9.

Game 4

Early in this game the score is quickly 4-0 for Kareem and the game is moving along quickly at this point.  Neither player is showing any signs of issues with their stamina.  Kareem is playing brilliantly this game and is quickly leading 9-0.  and Kareem wins 11-1.

Game 5

As game 5 starts I would say Kareem looks a little more composed and confident after his success in Game 4.  After great play by both players in this the deciding game the score is tied 2-2.  Kareem’s confidence now has him up 7-2.  And match point is here - Kareem has won 11-4.  In a final comment I would same Yannik started to look a little tired.

Court 2 7:15    Joseph White (AUS; 84) VS. Taylor Carrick (CAN; 214)

Court 3 7:15    Sara Cheng (HKG; 65) VS. Lowri Roberts (WAL; 89)

Sara Cheng from Hong Kong is 24, new to London, and is studying to be a Building Surveyor. 

Lowri is from Wales, 26, and also enjoying her first entry to the Nash Cup. 

Game 1 - Lowri wins the toss and the first point. At 3-2 for Sara, a string breaks and Lowri has to call time-out. At 6-3 Lowri seems to have less difficulty controlling the front of the court, keeping Sara deep. They're tied at 7-7 with Lowri starting to make a few errors. They are tied again at 9-9 but the errors add up and the game finishes with  Sara leading 11-9.

Game 2 - They are quickly tied at 4-4, both moving well, now both making a few errors. The "tin" is not their friend. Lowri wins the game at 11-5 with both hoping for less errors in the next game. 

Game 3 - At 4-2 (Lowri) they both look like they are just getting warmed up. Its 4-4  when a collision sidelines Sara for a few minutes. Play resumes and there are a great many shots down the left wall from the two right-handed players. At 7-6 it has been Sara's turn to make the most mistakes. One more tin from Sara and the game ends at 11-6 for Lowri.

Game 4 - Starts with a long rally and Sara winning the point. The pace has picked up and the crowd is getting noisier. They don't know whether to cheer for Lauri or Lowri or Lorri! At 6-4 (Sara) the errors continue to take their toll. At 9-6 for Sara, Sara gets a stroke, followed by a winning shot in the next rally and wins the game 11-6. 

Game 5 - Its 2-2 in games and Sara is soon up 2-0 in this one. Tight shots and some tin from Lowri gives Sara a 6-2 lead. A stroke gives Sara a 9-3 lead. Sara wins with a 11-6 final score. 

Court 2 8:00    Alison Thomson (SCO; 84) VS. Saran Nghiem (ENG; 67)

Court 3 8:00    Diego Gobbi (BRA; 119) VS. Finnlay Withington (ENG; 83)

Court 3 8:45    Moustafa Elsirty (EGY; 75) VS. Lwamba Chileshe (NZL; 97)

The final match of the night was pure electricity, as two rising stars squared off in a thrilling showdown that extended well past 9 PM. The anticipation in the air was palpable—the crowd buzzing, the players laser-focused, ready to deliver a match for the ages. On paper, Elsirty was the undeniable favorite. Rankings, past performances, and even the betting odds stacked in his favor as he faced Chileshe for the first time on the PSA tour. But what unfolded on court was far from predictable.

In the cool night air, both players—among the tallest in the draw—were eager to get things underway, skipping a lengthy warmup to dive straight into the action. Elsirty quickly surged ahead with a commanding 3-0 lead in the first game. By 7-2, it seemed like the script was following its expected course. But Chileshe, the scrappy New Zealander, wasn’t reading from that script. With razor-sharp retrievals and unshakable determination, he clawed his way back to 8-8, stunning the crowd and Elsirty alike. The players exchanged points, each rally more intense than the last. A controversial call at 11-10 in Chileshe’s favor tipped the balance, as he seized the first game 12-10 after a “No Let” call on game ball, leaving Elsirty visibly frustrated.

The drama was only beginning. Close calls and split decisions became a theme, with the crowd on edge as the second game unfolded. Elsirty, now determined to make a statement, unleashed a series of blistering cross-court nicks, leveling the score at 3-3. But an injury timeout following contact slowed the Egyptian down briefly. When play resumed, the two exchanged blows like heavyweight boxers, tying the score at 7-7. Then, a deft kill shot from Chileshe nudged him ahead 9-8, and the New Zealander pressed his advantage to close out the second game 11-8, taking a surprising 2-0 lead.

Elsirty, staring down the barrel of an upset, came out with guns blazing in the third. He quickly went up 2-0, but Chileshe matched his energy, evening the score at 4-4. The tension mounted as a contested call left Elsirty pleading for relief after contact to his non-racket hand. But the referee let play continue, and the match surged forward, point for point. At 10-9, Chileshe held match ball, ready to deliver the knockout punch. But Elsirty dug deep, saving match point with an explosive rally, and ultimately taking the game 13-11 in a stunning comeback. His roar of triumph shook the walls as the crowd erupted—game on.

The momentum shifted in the fourth, with Elsirty fully in command. Chileshe, rattled and making unforced errors, couldn’t find his rhythm as Elsirty steamrolled to an 11-4 win, forcing a decisive fifth game. The crowd, though fatigued, was on the edge of their seats, knowing the final chapter of this epic saga was about to unfold.

And what a fifth game it was. Each point was a battle, with neither player willing to give an inch. Elsirty inched ahead 6-4, only for Chileshe to respond with a breathtaking cross-court winner, narrowing the gap to 6-5. But the Egyptian was relentless, pulling ahead 8-6. Then came the crucial moment—a controversial “No Let” call against Elsirty brought the score to 8-7, followed by another “No Let” against Chileshe after a freakish bounce off the wall. The tension was unbearable. At 9-7, Elsirty pounced, seizing the moment with a final surge, and sealing the match 11-7 with a triumphant racket drop and a victorious roar that echoed through the arena.

This match was an absolute rollercoaster—a test of heart, skill, and sheer willpower. It was a vivid reminder that in squash, nothing is over until the final point is won. Elsirty’s ability to fight back from the brink of defeat proved his mettle as a true contender, while Chileshe’s performance left no doubt that his rise is far from over. In the end, it was a masterclass in resilience and determination—an unforgettable night for everyone who witnessed it.

SLNA sap co ngoai binh xin tu Chau Au

Thông tin mới nhất về bóng đá V League 2023 được chú ý gần đây liên quan tới thông tin cầu thủ ngoại binh đang được câu lạc bộ Sông Lam Nghệ An thỏa thuận chiêu mộ. C��ng đi tìm hiểu chi tiết hơn qua bài viết dưới đây nhé.

Sông Lam Nghệ An (SLNA) vốn không phải là một đội bóng có tài chính dồi dào, do đó việc chi tiêu mạnh mẽ trong kỳ chuyển nhượng trước mùa giải mới là hiếm khi xảy ra. Tuy nhiên, đội bóng này đang chuẩn bị sẵn sàng để giới thiệu tân binh đầu tiên cho mùa bóng 2023/2024. Theo các nguồn tin thân cận, CLB SLNA hiện đang trong quá trình thương thảo với trung vệ Mario Zebic. Có khả năng cao rằng cầu thủ người Croatia này sẽ sớm ký hợp đồng với đội bóng ở xứ Nghệ.

Giới chuyên môn đánh giá rằng sự xuất hiện của Mario Zebic sẽ là một sự bổ sung chất lượng cho hàng phòng ngự của đội chủ sân Vinh. Trước đó, SLNA đã tạm biệt cặp trung vệ chất lượng là Quế Ngọc Hải và Vytas Gaspuitis.

Mario Zebic, sinh năm 1995, có chiều cao lên tới 1,87m và giá trị chuyển nhượng của anh là 400.000 euro. Trong quá khứ, anh từng thi đấu cho nhiều câu lạc bộ trong nước Croatia và cũng đã có thời gian thi đấu tại Ba Lan và Slovakia, gồm FC Arges, Korona Kielce, NK Varazdin và Primorac 1929. Trước khi gia nhập SLNA, Mario Zebic đang thi đấu cho FC Arges tại giải Liga II, Romania. Trong mùa giải 2023, anh đã tham gia vào 11 trận đấu và ghi được 1 bàn thắng.

Với chiều cao lý tưởng và kinh nghiệm thi đấu rộng rãi tại các giải bóng đá châu Âu, Mario Zebic là lựa chọn được Ban Huấn luyện của SLNA kỳ vọng sẽ điền vào khoảng trống do đội trưởng Quế Ngọc Hải để lại. Mùa giải 2023/2024 được dự đoán sẽ thách thức đối với SLNA khi nhiều trụ cột của đội bóng đã rời khỏi. Tuy nhiên, đây cũng là cơ hội để HLV Phan Như Thuật có thể thử nghiệm các tài năng trẻ như Xuân Tiến, Hồ Văn Cường, Trần Nam Hải và Trần Mạnh Quỳnh.
