Interesting Zab interview from the vault

[Alioune DVToure]

I've just happened upon a great interview with Zab which was shown on Argentinian telly just after we won the league last May. He comes across as such an impressive bloke and the things he had to say about the fans, English football in general, life in England, football and Anglo-Argentine relations, the title win, the Tevez incident and Mancini were all really interesting. If you speak Spanish and have 20 minutes (skip the first few), this is a must-watch.

Some highlights:

English fans are great and don't give a fuck about the diplomatic tensions. They're respectful and are particularly fond of Argie players for their on-field passion and commitment. VERY TRUE. They never give up hope and stay with the team cheering them on until the final whistle blows.

Tevez was slightly misunderstood after the Munich incident and was particularly pissed off that it was spun as his having not wanted to play. His issue was with sitting back down after warming up. He wanted to be ready.

Mancini is fiery but a great coach and a good bloke. He did well in patching up his differences with Tevez, as did Carlos in return.

Mancini and Balotelli would fight like babies but would always make up. He sort of introduced this to take the heat off Tevez and to show how these things happen in football.

I've only watched about twelve minutes because I've got to go back to work. I'll watch the rest later and let you know if there's anything else interesting.

I might have a look later. Although the Argentinian mumble-style can be a bit of a challenge, but mainly with our friend Carlos.

It's a panty-wetting accent over here (Spain).

Small mercies. Perhaps the effect would be less dramatic were you to bathe more frequently.
