You need to get out of Liverpool. You're becoming indoctrinated. You'll be saying 'Boss' before you know it.Cheers la
Haha, unfortunately I've said that a few times too.You need to get out of Liverpool. You're becoming indoctrinated. You'll be saying 'Boss' before you know it.
In the club yesterday (Palmeiras) they were saying the two main reasons Gabriel choose Man City instead of any of the other four giant clubs that were after him and presented a buying proposal (Juventus, ManCity, ManUnited and Barça) were:
1) Guardiola's phone call. First, he is a spaniard, so they were able to communicate on a "portunhol" that had some funny moments that helped to break the ice. Second, Pep said he has been following gabriel's carrier for a while, that he thinks he is destined to greatness in football and that he will make him be what he can be. It was said, from people who know him, that he went ecstatic... Imagine... 5 years ago you were playing in the streets of São Paulo... and now you have pep on the other side of a phone line asking you to play for him
2) The fact that ManCity understood the needs of Palmeiras to have the player til the end of the season. Gabriel is very grateful to Palmeiras, the team that opened the doors of international football to him and wants to fight for the title til the end. ManCity will lend the player til november and, in january, in the case that palmeiras classify to copa libertadores, we will try to extend the loan, which will depend on guardiola say so.
Cheers!
