With the World Cup only a few weeks away, it is interesting to compare what the managers say. It is all about "we are confident", "we will do a superb appearance" and the classic "we are not the favourites"....
Parreira speaks about Roberto Carlos and Cafu, Scolari about Christiano Ronaldo, Eriksson about Rooney and so on. Those who were looking for real news to come out after all the coaches had completed their interviews were deeply dissapointed.
Are they worshipping us? Or they are trying to assert pressure on the rest of the squad?
There is a lot of misinformation going on, especially from the close environment of each manager. There is (pure) speculation that Sven is resting Rooney and will use him later, on the other hand, Sven is worried with some players' performance and the injuries are not letting him calm...
The smiles you see are only for the cameras...
