Who are the football players targeted for distrack? | | Soccer

“Shakira’s epic takedown of ex Gerard Piqué was a smash hit worldwide (in terms of YouTube views, sure).” Rashaad Jorden writes. “Are there any other football players who have been disstracked?”

Distracks are another part of modern life that we don’t quite understand, but it’s enough bait to know they’re becoming more and more common, and that Piqué isn’t the first footballer. was clicked.

For the sake of discussion, and not because you don’t get a good enough answer otherwise, let’s extend the original question’s “soccer players” to anyone involved with football. This allows us to mention Stormzy’s her 2015 single Know Me From. The song contained references to his beloved Manchester United’s post-Fergie predicament. Good job he released in his 2015 instead of his 2022.

Our next dissie (that word? It’s now) is Paulo Bento, one of Portugal’s great Euro 2000 side water carriers, who later went on to manage his country. In between, while in charge of Sporting, he was the subject of a classic in decline track by Portuguese rapper Valete.

“Baza correr com o Paulo Bento – or ‘Kick Paulo Bento out’ – is clearly aimed primarily at sports managers of the time, but some footballers have also been hit with lyrical debris,” Alan said. Gomez explains. “Here are some of his lines – my translation may lack the momentum and flow of the original:

Paulo Bento Listen, you are basic and ridiculous.

Your football is sleepy, bureaucratic and unproductive.

And he fires barbs at some players.

How can you play a guy like Ronnie as a left back / That veggie wingback barely attacks and hardly defends.

no one understands how you play / the guy you like [Yannick] Djaro, Paulo / Tell him his technique is radical.

You mix qualities like [João] Moutinho, [Miguel] Veloso and [Leandro] Romagnoli / Mediocrity etc. [Pontus] Farnerud, Djaló, Ronny / You should know that you can’t run a pony at a horse race.

“The media heavily covered Valete’s song and confronted Bento with the lyrics. Bento declined to comment. However, at the beginning of the next season, Valete granted his wish and Bento was fired.

Given the long tradition of honesty in the Dutch dressing room, it’s no big surprise to see two Dutch nationals on the next track.

“Ryan Babel’s infamous Open Letter, released in 2021, comes to mind,” wrote Dean Whearty. “In a single, Babel denied ex-Dutch teammate Ibrahim Afellay by saying:

Bro, I don’t know about you at Barça, but PSV may be more / Oh, are you an analyst now? / Hmm, yeah.

Heard in the hallway, you’re broke, bro/You call things up and don’t think about them anymore Bro code/But I understand if your career comes to a dead end.

“Football feud/dis-track fans were probably left disappointed when Afellay commented on the song. ‘I’m honestly surprised. I only knew him through the Dutch national team, but he He was always kind and I really have nothing bad to say about him.

And finally, one man’s ironic love song is another’s diss. “It may not be clear,” begins John Dalby. earliest opportunity. ”

‘Is Swindon’s 5-0 victory over Grimsby the biggest team with an interim manager? Jack Tanner tweeted last week.

The short answer is no, but we know you want more than that, so let’s start with one of the most successful managers in history.

Before he could sit in the big chair and be recognized as the kind of man who could win Champions Leagues, European Championships and World Cups, Vicente del Bosque had two spells as Real Madrid’s interim coach in 1994 and 1996. They lasted only one match, a 5–0 win at Athletic Bilbao, before Arsenio Iglesias retired to manage them. He lasted four months, but that’s another story.

Chelsea had many temporary managers when Roman Abramovich owned the club,tended to be described as “provisional” rather than “caretaker”. Still, it’s worth mentioning that in April 2012 Roberto Di his Matteo won his QPR with his 6-1 victory. Five days after him that night in Barcelona. Rafa Benitez was popular as interim manager until the end of the season when Di Matteo was sacked later in the year despite winning the Champions League. In December 2012, just a month into his tenure, Chelsea beat Aston Villa in his 8–0 win in the Premier League.

Andries Jonker spent a short period as manager of Bayern Munich following the sacking of Louis van Gaal in April 2011. In his second-to-last match, Bayern won his 8–1 victory over St. Pauli in St. He. Speaking of European giants, Ian McParland and Frank Barlow were briefly at the helm after Gary Megson was sacked during Nottingham Forest’s 7–1 victory over Swindon in February 2006. I was.

But our mailbox’s biggest triumph came in the early 1950s, with stories proving that the past wasn’t always foreign. Then, as now, Brighton were addicted to goalscoring. “On 18 April 1951, Brighton signed Newport to the County of Goldstone. He hosted a Division 3 South match under new interim manager Billy Laine,” said Adizal Manowitz. Reminisce. “Lane was Don Welch’s assistant and when Welch was pulled over by Liverpool, he was appointed caretaker manager.

“The game was a league record victory for the Seagulls, who won 9-1. Lane eventually became permanent manager, a position he held for 10 years, during which time he won the Division 3 South title (1957-58). ), bringing Brighton to Division 2 for the first time ever.The full story of that game is detailed on Brighton’s veteran fan site, We Are Brighton.”

“Tony Hibbert has never scored a goal for Everton in 304 games for the club. I pondered James Moseley in 2012.

Birmingham City and Newcastle United have form in this category. Gerald Sgrüh named Frank Clark: before that, from 1962 to 1975 he made 389 league appearances for Forest and Newcastle, without scoring a goal. And while we are talking about Newcastle, Bobby Monker has scored only 3 goals in his 294 appearances. All that in his 1969 two-leg Fairs Cup final. ”

Gerard said Birmingham were the winners. The player with the fewest goals scored more than 500 league appearances (531). “As far as we know, Cunningham has only scored one goal in the league. It was Millwall’s goal early in his career.

Simon Pacnader, who moved to Italy, says Luigi Perversi has failed to score in 318 league appearances for AC Milan. And Karol Foyle brought this ginger from Holland/Australia. Boschardt started his career at Utrecht (194 games), then moved to Feyenoord (53 games), ADO Den Haag (103 games), before suddenly moving to Sydney FC where he played a further 27 games. In the final match in Utrecht, his team was awarded a penalty and Boschaart was given the chance to take it but missed.
