Part 2 - Special Feature: Football’s quotes of the week
Calogero Lo Presti has been keen to make the headlines as well. The Brescia jail officer narrated Mario Balotelli’s peculiar accident while shedding light on the sheer idiocy of the current Manchester City player. Presti said that
it was four in the evening when the incident happened and that, there were two boys in the car.
The car was a Mercedes Coupe which barged through the Jail gate without any permission to do so whatsoever. After both the personnel in the car were questioned, police came to find out that one of them was indeed Balotelli. Upon
further investigation, Balotelli and his friend revealed that they were not aware that one needed special permission to visit a correctional facility. The boys also exposed that they were especially curious about the Jail because it was for female in-mates.
Liverpool’s demise has been accompanied by their manager’s tactical shrewdness. However, one thing that Hodgson does not take well to is criticism. Answering a journalists question at a press conference for Liverpool, Roy stated
that in the past thirty five years he has managed Halmsteds, Malmo, Orebo, Neuchatel and the Swiss national team. The question that was asked focused on the fact that what Roy’s coaching methods have translated to over the years. Roy as stated above, proceeded
to mentioning the teams that he has managed in the past three decades or so, in the end the ex-Fulham manager said that he found the question rather insulting. No doubt, Roy is not as subtle as he looks.
Despite all the criticism that has been leveled at Liverpool and their manager. Mr. Hodgson was not afraid of pulling a gloomy sheet over the delightful stadium that is Anfield. Roy said in his press conference after Liverpool’s
defeat to Blackpool over the weekend that things look really bleak for the Reds as they are in the bottom three and in a relegation fight.
Conversely, Redknapp was busy describing footballers in England get their amazing physique. With Tom Huddlestone as his benchmark, Harry said that if a player can’t pass the ball it makes no difference what the athlete in question
eats. Redknapp went onto say that one doesn’t only have to eat spaghetti to be a good footballer.
Elaborating further on his ideal footballer, the ex-West Ham manager said that he has seen players under his management who ran around of ninety minutes without a sweat and those footballers ate chips, peas, kidney pies etc just
two and a half hours before the match kicked off. Maybe, Harry can make a footballer out of Jack Black.
In other news, Rafael Benitez was busy deflecting off reports that it was actually his time at Liverpool which led to their currently depressing situation. Benitez told the media that, when he left the squad they better than previous
Liverpool teams. He went onto said that, the team he left was a very good one. The Spaniard also emphatically stated that his legacy is “fantastic”.
Of course that good team finished 7th under his leadership in the 2009-2010 season. Another person who is hurting because of Liverpool’s current spot in the bottom three of the English Premier League is Mark Lawrenson.
Mark said that he really didn’t think that Liverpool will fall as low as the 18th place even with the present trying times at the club.
Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager has been absent from such lists lately but he makes his comeback with an admission of guilt. Wenger told the press that, he was already passionately crazy about the sport of football. The Frenchman
added that, his feelings for football have not changed. Taking his love to new heights, Wenger concluded by stating that all managers are mad. Clearly Arsene has given up hope on becoming League Managers Association’s (LMA) media spokesperson.
