While talking to the media, January signing from Inter Milan, Thiago Motta, has refused people’s thoughts on him as a hard man of football. The PSG player says that he hates this reputation as he does not play like that
In six games, he has accumulated three yellow cards and can be considered as the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and has rapidly become an integral part of the
squad.
However, the French media, on the basis of his disciplinary record, have labelled him as a hard man. Many fans and observers also agree with media.
Suspended for the trip to Dijon this weekend, the Italo-Brazil has rejected this label. While talking to L’Equipe, Motta defended his game-play by refusing that he was a hard tackling player. Just like teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Momo-c26769 Sissoko, Motta, does not want to be insinuated
by referees. However, his actions against Sorlin on February 4, 2012, have got a few people talking.
In the 3-1 win over Evian TG earlier in February, Thiago Motta made a rough foul on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olivier-Sorlin-c28517. The tackle left the Evian player in considerable amount of pain. However, Motta has made it clear that he never intended to hurt his counterpart.
“To return to the hard game, I know I made a rough foul on a player against Evian-TG and I would ask for forgiveness because I did not want to hurt him. In fact, he came to face me and I thought he was standing when he was tackled. It was dangerous and did
not do anything to avoid it.”
Motta says that he only wants to win the ball and never intends to hurt anyone.
However, the midfielder says that he will definitely try his best to avoid future scenarios as it puts his reputation at risk.
While talking about his rapid adjustment, Motta says that he is not the only player who is playing a big role in the club’s rise in Ligue 1 and said that PSG will always be team and will never rely on individuality.
