MANAGERS WHO DID NOT KNOW ENGLISH.

This is the second list of managers, who did not know english.
1 The english club CHELSEA appointed a Italian coach Claudio Ranerri to take over the affairs of the club.though he was a experinced manager he did not know english and found it difficult
to talk with the players. But lucily for him and Chelsea there was afootballer in the team called Ginfranco Zolla,who spoke both the languages. In the end of his stay at Chelsea he spoke only english.

4TOTNEMHOTSPUR also appointed a french manager in JACQUE SANTINI. Here to the language problem arose and after a few months in charge Jacque Santini quit his job ,and Martin Joyl who was Santinis assistant took over .


5The fifth manager is the famous Italian FABIO CAPELLO ,who is at present the manager of the England team. He to is not fluent in english and has started learning english seriously
The intresting point to note is that they all were very good managers and Fabio C apello,Sir Bobby Robson,Juande Ramos have won more then one trophy for their clubs.

MANAGERS WHO DID NOT KNOW THELANGUAGE

Over the years clubs all over the world ,have had managers of clubs who did not know the language spoken by the players. We shall look at some of them.
1 SIR BOBBY ROBSON.
Sir Bobby Robson was once appointed as the coach of the Portugeese club F.C.PORTO. And he realised he had a mager problem as the players did not understand him. He then appointed a person who knew both english and portugeese. The person was JOSE MOURHINO,to be the interpreter. And it worked that year PORTO won the title and did it the following year as well.
But as the relation between F.C. BARCELONA and CHELSEA have always been bad and they often clash at some stage in the chamion league. And when CHELSEA visit Barcelona, Mr JOSE MOURHINO is always taunted at the airport as the TRANSLATOR this name hasstuck to him.

2 JUANDE RAMOS.
In the 2007 2008 E P L season the English club were doing very badly and were slipping down to the relegation area . For proud club TOTNEMHOTSPUR the fans cold not think of it to fall from the top ten to the lower end was unthincable. After an emergency meeting The coach Martin Joyl was sacked and the Spaniard Juande Ramos was brought from the Spanish club Sevilla They even brought out his contract with the club.
But the trouble started at once Juande Ramos did not know english. But the club acted fast so desperate were the club for results. TOTNEM HOTSPUR appointed a Urugayan named GUSTAVO POYET Aformer footballer who played for both Chelsea and Totnemhotspur to be the translater.The result was quick ,they won games and are doing well this season.

RYANN WILSON JONES.

This is all about avery talented and very loyal footballer.Better known and loved the world over as Ryan Giggs .He is amixture of Sieraleone and Dutch parents.And he is very very proud of that faact. JUST WHY SHOULD HE NOT BE VERY PROUD OF IT! WE fans only want to see and admire his good footwork. His father was a rugby player.But they divorced early,and Ryan was brouht up by his mother so he uses her surname Giggs.
Ryan almost sighned up for the rival team Manchester United. But sir Alex Ferguson went all the way to cardiff Wales,and had very long meeting in Ryan Giggs houe,and convinced Ryan Giggs to join Manchester United only.And the agreement was sighned. And Ryan Giggs has been there ever since.
He has won the most trophies also a total of 23 medals.
He actually joined Manchester United in1989 at the age of fourteen years.And also played the
the second most mumber of matches for Manchester United,second only to Sir Bobby Charlton. At Manchester they have a song on Giggs.It is Run GIGGSY run. Here comes Giggs running round the wings .He will tear you here andtear you there.Run Giggsy run.
He has always stayed at Manchester United,and refused any transfer.
He along with other footballers of mixedgroup such as Thiery Henry Rio Ferdinand and Les Ferdinand are in anty racist group and Giggs has been aloyal worker for Unicef to fight this evil thinking in some fools.

H

PAOLO MALDINI.

There are many great footballers ,who start their football careers from the youth teams and end up in the senior team .but they often change teams when they are offered more money. But two footballers come to my mind who were spotted early,and taken into the youth team,and finally shone in their senior team.
This is one such player his name is Paulo Maldini. The son of Ceasre Maldini the former Italian coach and football player.
He started his career with A.C.Milan at sixteen years old,on 20/1/1985. on25/9/2005,paulo broke Dino Zoffs record 0f571 games. And on 16/2/2008 ,he reached one thousand games.
Paulo Maldini has represented A.C.Milan in a total of eight U.E.F.A. cup finals the most by anyone. else.He needs one more champion winner medal to beat the Spanish footballer Franseco Gento . Gento won five champion with REAL MADRIDin the good old days when Real Madrid had the great players such as Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas.
A. C. Milan has decided to retire the no 3 jersey of Paulo Maldini whenever he retires.But they may give it to his son ,who is twelve years old and is in the youth team of A.C. Milan.

THE TRUTHS OF SOME WORLD CUPS.

1 The two Argentinan footballers Juan Simone and Dezzoti were the first footballers to get red cards in the final of the world cup held in Italyin the year 1990.When Argentina lost to Germany in the final .
2In the 1966 world cup held in England .In that years quater final between Argentina and England ,the Argentinan captain Antonio Rattin got a second yellow card for foul languge at the refree.Which was followed by a red card. Antonio Rattin refused to leave the pitch, saying that the German refree did not understand a word of Spanish. But when he left the field he pulled and crumbled the Union Jack ,which were plced on the four ends of the field. The show did not end there he also sat on the red carpet ment for the queen to walk on. And finally while passing the queen he raised his finger upwards at her.All this happened because all Antonio Rattin said in Spanish was I want an interperter for me. More drama followed as England took fulluse of the one man advantageand won the match. The English coach Ralf Ramsey came on to the pitch and ordered his players not to exchange jerseys with the Argentinans were just animals.
3 The German footballer Franz Beckenbaur is the only person to win the world cup in 1974 as the German captain and as the manager inthe 1990 world cup in Italy.
4 In the 1994 final match between Brazil and Italy, Robetto Baggio missed the final penalty,so giving Brazil the cup . But in the 1998 world cup held in france, Baggio cooly kicked thethe first penalty Italy had vs Belgium.It clearly showed his calibre and class of a footballer Robetto Baggio has always had.
4 In the 2006 World cup held in Germany,the final between France and Italy was spoilt by one incident which is reffered to Zinedine Zidanes head butting of Marco Matressi in which both players got red cards. Even though a mager fault was Marco Matressis for provoking Zidane.It sadly brought avery bright and brilliant carrer of a genius to a sad end.Even as that was Zidanes last match he had alrady announced his retirement.
