“I haven’t learned English… Like I am going to learn Chinese.”
You know, just because I came so young that I ended up bilingual almost by accident doesn't mean I think anyone can do it to the same level as you and me, but some of these footballers are proper thick. Aguero still needs a translator to give interviews, he's been here years.
Pochettino never had a word of English at Southampton but a quick jaunt up the M3 and round the M25 and he became fluent. The cnut.
You'd think with all the spare time they have, it'd be easier to fit it in than most 'normal' folk, not to mention access to the best teaching going.
I suppose some might just wonder whether it's worth it if they're only gonna be here a few years and they can get away without really knowing the language. I suppose that's one of the 'benefits' of being rich
