no language barrier

comment by LUFC H'GATE (U6810)

Chels ki are top of the league with extremely mixed bag.

The thing is H, Mourinho is fluent in Portuguese/Brazilian Portuguese, English, Spanish and Italian and probably can get by in a few other languages.

NR is fluent in Yarksheer only.

Tha knows wat I mean me duck.

The whole language barrier subject came up, because people were using it as an excuse to why we were doing so bad.
................................................

Not quite true in all honesty, one or two were using it to beat up Massimo Cellino. They were happy to use it to have a dig at the clubs owner because he was buying a number of foreign players.

One even started before the ink was dry on the purchase of the club and carried on until very recently (when we won a game) bleating on about it.



Most, sensible, posters have never seen it as such a big problem.

Just an opinion of course, but I'm probably not alone in holding it...?

When you're on the pitch, there's not that many words that need to be said and learnt.

Names are universal, square, mark him, stay with him, come on, one-two, to feet

It would be pretty easy to instil in all of them an understanding of each others' language for those few words

The rest is visual and experiential - hand pointing, peripheral vision, getting used to how a certain player plays

But it is on the training ground in trying to explain the reasons for doing certain things where a language barrier needs to be overcome. And if Redders says it's not an issue, then great. I expect performances and results to really improve.

"Give me the feckin ball,"....nope, not to hard!..

"Break his feckin leg,"....nope, as easy as it comes!..

"Get the feck on side,"....natural, to a natural spieler!..

"Where's the feckin ball?"....yep, that's not to hard to learn!..

"Clear it,"....they can learn that one!..

"Get up for that feckin corner,"....school boys know that one!..

"What's for feckin dinner?".........that's the one!..

Yorkshire pud?....Pizza?....Frogs legs?....or Toad in the old hole?....that'll be the one that mixes it!..

Boy, I hope nobody throws in when's kick off!.

Redder's has a lot on his plate if you ask me!.

Imagine them asking the way to ER?.

If the taxi drivers are anything like the ones around here they'll take them the longest from long way they can, can cost a feckin fortune!.

It was more of a problem with Darko in charge. I'm sure there isn't much of a problem now.

Evidence?

Que?

Wait does that mean berardi inept performances weren't a result of anything to do with his lanaguage skills getting in the way of his game.


Christ he's worse than I thought, at least before he had an excuse

If they do worksop it's probably a fetish....
