Michael Kayode

When we started in the Premier League, we had plenty of Internationals but not from top tier countries. Maybe we are starting to break through that glass ceiling.

Are Italy top tier anymore

I’ve got John Halls on the phone!

I just heard Gus Hurdle shout 'HOLD MY BEER' .

 

[South Acton Bee]

How have we all forgot any international right Back from the middle 90s

 

[North London Bee]

I just heard Gus Hurdle shout 'HOLD MY BEER' .

Don’t dis a fellow international right back!

I’ve got John Halls on the phone!

I remember at the times thinking “this guy has played in the prem with Arsenal”! (Albeit about 2 games)…… how times have changed!

Are Italy top tier anymore

Might've had a mare with World Cup qualification over the last decade but with 4 World Cups and a couple of Euros (the most recent being little over 5 years ago) they're still very much a top tier footballing nation (in my eyes at least).

The everyday Itaian fan might be wondering where MK has sprung from. Not least when they see he wasn’t getting picked for the U21 team, yet in the squad

Warm praise for him in Italian posts on social media, a few comments along the lines of I can't believe we put up with Di Lorenzo for years when this guy was a recent option, adding the old manager was a fraud for overlooking him (and I think saying their players weren't good enough to get them to the last World Cup).

“Kayode who takes the place of Di Lorenzo”

Roberto Mancini reveals his conversation with Michael Kayode before his Italy debut against Turkey:“You know, before the game I spoke to Michael because sometimes with a young player making his debut, you have to calm him down.I told him, ‘Michael, don’t try to prove everything tonight. You’re a right-back. Defend well, give the ball to the midfielders and enjoy your first game.’He said, ‘Okay, mister.’Twenty-seven minutes later we are 3-0 up and my right-back is sliding on his knees celebrating a goal.So when he came towards the bench I asked him, ‘Which part of our conversation did you understand?’He said, ‘The part where you told me to enjoy myself.’What can I say?We lost against Belgium, I changed almost the entire team, started two brothers together, gave a 22-year-old his debut and somehow after 27 minutes we looked like Italy again.Sometimes as a coach you spend days looking for answers.Sometimes you accidentally put them in the starting eleven.”

At the risk of going off piste, wasn’t there a one man fan club for John Halls?

Jesus this is like a monologue from a Hollywood sports film where Matthew McConaughey is playing the coach

That's cos it was translated by Robert DeNiro. Fact-ish.

In the words of Shaggy, It wasn't me.
Quite the opposite.

Think this is a fake quote. Lots of x accounts for some reason post fake quotes after games with stuff like this.

Looks like it comes from a fiction/satire account (that’s clearly labelled as that).
I’m guessing people/bots just copy the content without knowing/caring that it’s not true.

Shame really…as it read really well and raised my opinion of Mancini!
