Personally, i dont think its that bad an interview
You’d think every footballer would know that ehIt's The Sun. Sensationalism and hatred are their MO.
Think mention of his mum being unhappy with Pep was maybe a step too far???Personally, i dont think its that bad an interview

He said he felt being on the bench he didnt think the medals were his to take ,i said that on his thread and got thread banned !
It looks to me like they've read the Observer interview, and using language to suggest it's their own. On the inside pages, there may be a mention of the Observer.Did he actually do the interview at all? It won't be the first time the sun has manufactured the truth.
For even more good money.Players earn good money why do they talk to the scum press/media ?
The most interesting part of the interview was that he puts this down to his wife's pregnancy. Apparently she was due in November, and he didn't want to uproot his life just 2-3 months before her due date.Take it with a pinch of salt. Kalvin had the chance to leave in the summer and decided to stay and fight for his place. His decision. Simply hasn’t worked out for him at City.
Remember the papers will always twist what’s actually been said and the way it’s been said to sell more. Just the way it is.
I genuinely wish him well at West Ham. Hasn’t started well but plenty of games to go.
I think some will question that, but frankly there are some things that are more important than football, and it certainly fits in with Pep's attitude to players, that he'd accept it, and not comment on it publicly.
He won't have got paid for it - he'll have done the interview to get across his side of everything, and try to paint himself in the best light. He's more critical of himself than he is of Pep or City, but still has enough excuses to argue that he's got a lot to offer for the Euros.Players earn good money why do they talk to the scum press/media ?
