Bad attitude because Silva wants his mate to partner him at the back.
I'd have a bad attitude if in my workplace my colleague kept overlooking me to give his compatriot promotions or other perks..........
Not true at all.
When he arrived till the beginning of last season, Carlo took the time to evaluate the players. That's why he changed his starting team so many times. He did it so much that even Nasser and leo started to dislike it.
All in all, Carlo said why he chose Alex when he was available instead of Sakho : because Alex is the better player and since Sakho is young, he should train and improve and compete with Alex when given the chance (and he had numberous times to try to prove he's better and failed horribly. He played +30 matches and didn't do better than Alex). What he refused to do because he thinks he's the best. It's not his job to evaluate himself, it's the coach's job.
Blanc made the same choice and so far he's quite right since Alex is consistent, while sakho is not. Marquinhos is the complete opposite of sakho. The dude wants to compete and prove himself every times he will be given the chance. And just like Sakho he wants to join the world cup, but he knows he has to prove he's good. Marquinhos is training a lot. Sakho was slacking while thinking he's better, here was his problem.
Now as an observer who watched all the matches, i did the same choice, Alex is better.
- Both are slow
- Alex is better in the air
- Alex is a threat for the opponent team on every corners and free kicks, while sakho has always horrible placement on most of them.
- Alex has better placement
- Alex doesn't do clearing shots, he actually tries to make decent passes, including long passes.
But yeah, sakho is a victim because TS is a bully. Sure.
