Hull City star Geovanni has branded his former manager at Manchester City, Sven Goran Eriksson, his worst ever coach!

The Brazilian told The Sun: “Eriksson was the worst coach I ever had. He didn’t give me a chance to prove my value.

“I played in the first few games for City then I vanished because of him. He didn’t give me the freedom I need to play.

“Phil Brown is totally different. He believes in every player and gives all the squad chances.

“I’ve learned with him and I’m glad to be here with him. I still dream of playing for Brazil. If I make the World Cup I promise I will kiss Phil Brown."

To be fair, he didn't get a chance. I'm sure he could've replicated this year's form with Hull for us if we'd given him games.
 
I wonder what Dean Windass thinks of the comment 'every player in the squad is given a chance'?
Sorry Geo, you weren't good enough
 
Just seems like a cheap and unnecessary shot. Hes doing well at the moment so why bother. let it go.
 
He seemed to slow down most attacking moves when he got the ball - imo.

He could claim he had nobody running in front of him but at the start of last season we played the most fluid attacking football I've seen at City (since Horton was in charge0.
 
No, Geovanni, you disappeared because your performances were at best adequate, and usually less than that.

You scored a goal against United, but other than that, you were ineffective.

You have scored a few great goals for Hull this season, but what else have you done?

Mr Eriksson left you out because your contributions were minimal, frankly.

You were not very good, to be honest, and whose fault is that?
 
Noticed he is very bitter about leaving us..

Comments he has made;
Celebration against us when he scored that free kick. (Most ex-players have some respect for their old club.)
Then at the home game Vs. Hull - some of the tackles he was putting in, throwing the ball away rather than too our players..

And now this comment, he is far better at hull than he is here... Possibly like the real Gio was a lot better here than he probably would be, at a better quality club.
 
Personally I don't agree with him, but find it interesting to find that a couple of posters have indicated he was lazy in training. Isn't Hughes being slated for refusing to play players for the exact same reason.
 
Hull's good form is over i'm afraid Geo, you had your moment in the sun, i genuinely think Hull could be in a relegation fight if they play like they did against us and Sunderland

Sven thought Geo was overweight and lazy in training, in fact if I remember right Sven made a comment to the press that if players trained well they would get chances etc. Sorry Geo you didn't do enough.

Actually it was one of his team mates who described him as fat and lazy but clearly Sven thought something similiar.
 
Players not in the team=slate managers (Geo, Elano)
Players in the team=praise managers (Ireland)

Not rocket science is it?

Sorry, mate, I don't know if you are joking or not, now I've had a humour bypass. In my view, it was the most stupid thing that I have ever seen a manager do. The coaching staff were running on with tracksuits desperate to keep the players warm. What if one of them had pullled a hamstring in the second half? Just plain silly. And as for Geo, just plain bitter, no more and no less than that.
