“Ederson, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez, Rodri, and Erling Haaland were all back in ManCity training today after respective injury/fitness issues.”
Did anyone not see this coming? Seems it’s a regular occurrence where City players will say they are “injured” to miraculously recover in a week after getting to fly back early.
Liverpool fan here. Wish we were as smart as Pep.
Nah. Look how much Diaz’s goals meant to his family and country.
South American qualifiers are a way of life. Cuz no match is meaningless
You won’t get mos to South Americans missing international games willingly. Ederson a bit of an exception seemingly (probs because he isn’t first choice) but you’d never get Darwin, Lucho, alexis etc. missing playing for their country like that
You’re aware ederson is brazils first choice these days right?
Not sure why you got downvoted for being right.
I loved it when Fergie used to do it
Giggs was one of the worst for it. Although it might have been him faking injuries so he can go bang his brother’s wife.
Tbf that classifies as a Groin injury.
Different Brothers thats Pat and Phil McGroin
Depends where he kicked her I suppose
Not only that he used to basically have them ‘injured’ so they didn’t even need to go flying anything, two weeks rest and done
FA apparently pays for injuries (to an amount) but not worth losing your player
Legend Fergie no question!
De Bruyne was never injured
He’s been training in secret bunker this whole time and is fit for tomorrow
CIA level mind-games from Pep here
I don’t. Principles above all. Football should be honest.
Watch Rugby
No thank you. Always choose to do better and be better, regardless of activity or underaking
We asked the Netherlands to allow a 21 year old to skip U-21 international duty after he’d moved to his third country in 2 years so he could do stuff like, y’know, find somewhere to live and they threw a right hissy fit and banned him from playing for them for 4 months.
International teams are almost universally run by absolute dickheads who if they had the talent required would drop it in a heartbeat to go back to managing/running a club.
Spurs fan here. We lost two more players to actual injuries during the international break. Second that wish.
Who
You didn’t lose anyone in this break
Sarr and Phillips.
Watched the Brazil V Arg match. Was worried for Mac Allister. Dude was getting taken down every time he touched the ball.
Wish we were as big a cheat as Pep? Fuck that.
The Ederson one was sly, making sure that Alisson played 2 games.
