Så ikke god Cole har været det sidste lange stykke tid kan jeg ikke se at Bertrand burde være dårligere. Han spiller med stor ro når han er på banen, og er hurtig og lukker godt af. Self bliver Bertrand ikke førstevalg lige nu, men jeg ville hellere se ham spille fremfor Cole.

Så fangede man lige sig selv i at prøve at spole tilbage i den live pressekonference.

HAHA!

iøvrigt kom jeg lige til at tænke på, gad vide hvornår Ramires lærer bare en smule Engelsk? Nu så jeg lige det der interview han lavede efter sin kontraktforlængelse, igen var på Portugisisk, og jeg mindes et interview fra et par måneder siden hvor han lige fik sagt ´thanks´ efter interviewet og hvor han regnede med at kunne Engelsk om 2-3 ÅR?
Synes altid vores spillere lærer sproget rimelig hurtigt, kan ikke lige huske nogen i nyere tid der skulle bruge 4-5 år på det? Det er egentligt ret lige meget jeg undrede mig bare lige et øjeblik. Men fantastisk spiller og bedste nyhed i lang tid da han forlængede!

Jeps, han er en værdifuld spiller, og selvom jeg i starten var ret forbløffet over hvor ofte han smed bolden væk, må jeg sige at hans arbejdsiver og eksplosive ryk frem i banen efterhånden har gjort mig til forsigtig fan.

Det kommer ikke voldsomt bag på mig, at han ikke er skrap til at lære engelsk. Med fare for at fremstå fordomsfuld, slår han mig ikke ligefrem som den boglige type.

Han var ikke god i starten, men da Ramires blev hentet var jeg ekstremt glad da jeg havde fulgt ham (og Luiz) en del I Benfica. Han smed alt for mange bolde væk i starten og kunne slet ikke være med fysisk. Alt der har ændret sig nu han er meget bedre med rent fysisk, og laver også færre boldtab og når han gør er han god til at jagte den. Og han har sgu nogle god driblinger ind i mellem samt han er blevet en del skarpere foran kassen, og hans afleveringer og indlæg bliver også bedre og bedre, ikke optimale endnu, men bedre. Synes faktisk også han har gjort der rigtig fin som Højrekant/ højre midt eller hvad han nu spillede mod Wolves og Birmingham, han skal nok blive endnu mere fantastisk i fremtiden :)

Nej jeg tror heller ikke han er den boglige type, men lidt kunne han måske godt sige efter snart 2 år? tror heller ikke Luiz er specielt boglig, men han prøver da i det mindste, og han elsker ordene ´mentality´ og ´geezer´.. :)

Nogen der ved om Bosingwa egentlig kan engelsk? kan ikke mindes at have set et interview med ham på noget tidspunkt?

Jeg ved ikke helt hvorfor jeg går så meget op i det lige nu..

Apropos David Luiz og sprogkundskaber:

Giles Smith´s (sædvanligvis glimrende) klumme fra sidste uge, hvis alle ikke har læst den. Mine links til chelseafc.com fungerer aldrig, så her er den copy-paste´et:


GILES SMITH: ENJOY THE LIFE
Posted on: Thu 01 Mar 2012
It was David Luiz´s opening goal against Bolton that put a spring in the step of many Chelsea fans this week but it´s other contributions the Brazilian gives the world that have caught the attention of columnist Giles Smith…



The American comedian Steve Martin has just published a book of his collected tweets. ´This collection brings his funniest, most memorable messages together for avid followers and offline fans alike,´ according to the blurb.

Fair enough. Maybe the idea of re-publishing old tweets does seem to fly a bit in the face of the fundamentally throw-away, in-the-moment, write-it-and-move-on nature of the Twitter medium. But why not? Martin is a funny man. And far less substantial things have made it into print. ´Wayne Rooney: The Way It Is´, for instance.

That said, even as I saw the advertisement for Martin´s book, it occurred to me that there´s only one person whose tweets I want to see gathered between hard covers; David Luiz.

Of all the active Chelsea twitterers (Malouda, Kalou, McEachran, each valuable in his own way), Luiz seems to me indisputably the greatest. In fact, it´s bigger than that. My feeling, Twitter-wise, is that if you aren´t following @DavidLuiz_4, you aren´t really following anyone.

He´s not one of those who are on there, jawing away all the time, like Rio Ferdinand. He´s definitely not one of those, like Ian Poulter the golfer, who uses the intimacy of Twitter to line his own nest by selling the products of his sponsors. Luiz has never flamed anyone or gone looking for controversy, and nor has he ever said something forehead-slappingly obvious about an event of international significance. He is above that - far above it.

He tends to pick his moments, and several days may pass in silence (which is as it should be, because these things should never be allowed to run one´s life). But when he does finally feel the urge to tweet, it´s never less than a joy and totally uplifting.

Just to pick a few at random:

´Come on Chelsea!´

´Come on Chelseaaaaaa!´

´Come on Chelsea! Come on Chelsea!´

´Let´s go Chelsea!!´

´Chelsea!! Chelsea!! Chelsea!! Chelsea!! Chelsea!!´

And my favourite:

´Come on Chelsea! I want playyyyyy.´

But it´s not all Chelsea-based chanting (which could, I admit, limit the audience slightly for a Christmas stocking-style repackaging of these moments). There are also the cheery greetings - from the slightly enigmatic (´Yesss…good afternoon…hahahahhaha.´) to the unignorably straightforward (´Morning morning morning morning´). And then there are the occasional hymns to his adopted home (´Welcome to London. I love here´) and the messages simply bidding us all a good day (´Good morning London, good morning geezers, good morning everybody! Enjoy the Friday!´).

And as Luiz has urged us on another occasion, ´Hahaha enjoy the life everyday geezers, always.´ We´re doing our best. But who could deny that it´s always easier for a geezer to enjoy the life on the days when Luiz tweets?

´The Collected Tweets of David Luiz´? Publishers: you know it makes sense. Packaged with some photographs and a flicker-book of last Saturday´s peachy goal. Perfect.


Conspiracy theories abound following the sighting of Jose Mourinho on his way out of Heathrow airport earlier this week but, for me, the telling detail was the doughnuts.

News reports stated that our former manager was carrying two items as he went through to Departures: a Harrods bag, and some doughnuts. The latter explains everything. Have you tried getting a decent doughnut in Spain? With jam in? It´s next to impossible. You certainly can´t get Krispy Kreme ones. You have to come over to London for those.

Chelsea? Arsenal? Tottenham? No. It was about the doughnuts.


Congratulations, obviously, to Liverpool on their first trophy in six years - won thanks to a penalty shoot-out, one notices, although perhaps that goes without saying. Liverpool, famously, have won almost everything there is to win in club football on penalties.

We´re talking two European Cups, one FA Cup and, now, two Carling Cups - all won thanks to the lottery of a sudden-death shoot-out, a lottery in which Liverpool can justly be said to be football´s Euromillionaires.

However, what Luis Suarez and co. can be especially proud about this time is that, when they raised the trophy aloft on Sunday, it was after a match in which they had actually been ahead at one point. In all of the other cases - the two European Cups, the FA Cup, the other Carling Cup - victory via penalties followed a game in which Liverpool had never held the lead in open play. But at Wembley, against Championship opposition, they managed, briefly, to go 2-1 up - a major step forward for the club, and a real testament to the ´King Kenny effect´, even if it was in extra-time and only for 10 minutes.

´When,´ a concerned friend texted me to ask, ´was the last time Liverpool won something by beating someone in a football match?´

Well, you have to go back to the Carling Cup of 2003 for that, when they beat Manchester United 2-0. But don´t forget, too, the Uefa Cup of 2001, which Liverpool didn´t win on penalties but, instead, with a ´golden goal´ in extra time. Or, to be exact, a ´golden own goal´ on that occasion. (Note to younger readers: golden goal extra-time was a short-lived experiment in match-deciding wherein the first team to score in extra-time effectively aborted the match and was declared the winner. It was abandoned almost immediately after the Uefa Cup final of 2001 revealed it to be both comical and unfair.)

History, eh? Isn´t it funny how it sometimes pans out?

Som Altid spændende læsning fra Giles Smith! Og Nu har jeg ikke selv Twitter, men følger ham på FB i stedet og der kommer hans tweets også ind, samtidig med at jeg engang i mellem lige tjekker hans twitter ud. Hans respons til Gary Neville var også fantastisk!

´Good morning geezers,go to Germany now! Gary Neville i love u! :p´

Udover hans på det seneste fremragende præstationer på banen er han, som person fantastisk at have i klubben. Altid smil og jokes! Og hans bidrag til Chelsea TV´s jule reklame bringer også altid et smil frem på læben :)

Luiz er simpelthen så tilpas mærkelig, at man ikke kan end holde af ham selvom han nogle gange er lidt for mærkelig i hans forsvarsspil.

HVORFOR HAR JEG ALDRIG SET DEN VIDEO FØR!?

fantastisk!

Luiz er for sej, han minder mig meget om Jimmy Bullard der også har en skøn form for humor.
