You mean foreign players like KDB, Vinny, Ferny, Laporte, Zinny, Leroy etc who all speak at least two if not three or four languages fluently. You really are full of complete and utter bull, more than normal actually, time to blockI doubt modern professional footballers care about how popular their club is with media or fans. Especially in a league where the majority of players are foreign and often don't speak the language properly.
Is the average Man City player even aware Liverpool are more popular? Surely they are all away on a nice holiday.
