The american owner of OL could not hide his emotion on Saturday after the triumph of his other club,South American champions Botafogo.
John Textor goes through all the emotions. While Olympique Lyonnais lives in financial insecurity with the sword of Damocles of the DNCG hanging over its head, its American owner experienced one of his best evenings, this Saturday, under the hat of coach of Botafogo. The Brazilian club, also led by the entrepreneur and his Eagle Football group, won the Copa Libertadores against Atlético Mineiro (3-1) after a crazy scenario. And this,while the Rio de Janeiro team was reduced to ten men in the first minute of the game after a terrible gesture by their player Gregore.

70 million euros in his pocket
«I already said it, but they deserve itgreeted John Textor in tears on the microphone of ESPN Brazil. They worked so hard and won! I love them! (…) They said we weren’t mentally strong and our boys proved the opposite. They were wrong. Responding to the criticism, the American wanted to remember that he had “does more good things than bad“. Now champion of South America, he will pocket a nice jackpot from which he could take advantage… OL. Thanks to the success of Botafogo, the L’Aquila Football Group galaxy will actually pocket just over 70 million euros – 23 million for the title of Libertadores and 50 million for qualification for the Club World Cup – just enough to revive (perhaps) the Rhône’s finances.
«I grew up in Florida, which has strong relationships with South America. For me this is more important than anything happening in Europe. It’s phenomenal added Textor, who now dreams of the Libertadores-Brazilian double, as Botafogo is the current leader of the Auriverde Serie A with two days to go (three points ahead of palmeiras). We’re still in the race. We still have two games to play. We want to win, not be second.”
meanwhile, in France, Olympique Lyonnais are 7th in Ligue 1 when they host OGC Nice at the Groupama Stadium, this Sunday (5pm), during matchday 13.

Interview: The Future of Technology and Society
Setting: A radiant, modern office space adorned with digital screens showcasing the latest news and trends. The atmosphere buzzes with the anticipation of insights that will shape our understanding of the future.
Participants:
- Sarah Thompson (Editor, Time.news)
- Dr. Michael Chen (Expert in Digital Sociology and Technology)
Sarah Thompson: Welcome, Dr. Chen! It’s a pleasure to have you here today.your research into the intersection of technology and society has garnered notable attention.what inspired you to dive into this field?
Dr. Michael Chen: Thank you, Sarah! It’s great to be here. I’ve always been fascinated by how technology influences human behavior and societal structures. I grew up during the rise of the internet, and I witnessed firsthand how it transformed dialog and relationships. That sparked my curiosity about the long-term implications of such changes.
Sarah Thompson: it’s indeed a fascinating era we live in! Speaking of transformations, what do you see as the most significant influence of technology on society today?
dr. Michael Chen: Right now, I believe the most significant influence is the rise of artificial intelligence. it’s not just changing industries; it’s reshaping our everyday lives. From how we work to how we relate to each other, AI’s impact is profound. However, it also raises ethical concerns that we must address.
Sarah Thompson: Ethical concerns are a hot topic. What specific issues do you think we should be most wary of as AI continues to evolve?
Dr. Michael Chen: One major concern is privacy. As AI systems collect vast amounts of data to function effectively, there’s a risk of invasive surveillance and a lack of consent.Additionally, algorithmic bias can lead to discrimination, and we must ensure that AI systems promote fairness, not inequality.
Sarah Thompson: It sounds like a delicate balance. How can we ensure that technological advancements benefit society as a whole rather than exacerbate existing inequalities?
Dr. Michael Chen: Collaboration is key. Policymakers, technologists, and social scientists must work together to create frameworks that prioritize ethical standards. We need diverse perspectives in the development process to ensure inclusivity. Public awareness and education about thes issues are also vital.
Sarah Thompson: On the topic of education,how do you think we should prepare future generations for a world dominated by advanced technologies?
Dr. Michael Chen: It’s essential to foster critical thinking and adaptability in education. We should not only teach kids to use technology but also to understand its implications. Incorporating digital literacy into curriculums can empower future generations to navigate challenges and leverage technology responsibly.
Sarah thompson: That’s an critically important point. As technology continues to evolve, how do you envision the relationship between humans and machines in the coming decades?
Dr. Michael Chen: I envision a partnership were humans and machines complement each other. AI can augment human capabilities,allowing us to focus on creativity and empathy—traits that machines cannot replicate. The challenge will be in ensuring that these technologies are designed to enhance human experience, not replace it.
Sarah Thompson: That’s a hopeful perspective! Before we wrap up, what is one piece of advice you’d give to individuals overwhelmed by the rapid pace of technological change?
Dr. Michael Chen: I would encourage individuals to cultivate a mindset of lifelong learning.Stay curious and informed about technological trends, but also engage critically with them. Understand that while technology is a tool, it’s how we choose to use it that will shape our future.
Sarah Thompson: Wise words, Dr. Chen! Thank you so much for sharing your insights today. It’s clear that while technology poses challenges, it also offers incredible opportunities for growth and improvement in our society.
Dr. Michael Chen: Thank you, Sarah! It’s been a pleasure discussing these vital issues with you.
