Every other journalist could do the same when they receive the team sheet
They get it early so they can prepare their headline or tweet
He tried to be clever by not naming the side but only giving a headline
"Beto is back leading the line" etc

This news didn't even come from the club. They were told by a player from another club. Because footballers all talk to each other.
It's like when they used to announce the team news 10-15 mins before the arbitrary pl deadline, when opposition managers had know the lineup for an hour or more. But fans get pissy about it being a leak. Just because plebs like us don't know something, doesn't mean everyone within the industry doesn't know it.
