Mateo Kovačić

[Stric]

LOL, some people are really looking to create news out of nothing. It's clear as day that he said buen and not bon, and todos instead of tots.

I did hear the "Bon".

It sounded like Portuguese to me.

"Bom dia a todos"

It's "buenos dias", not "buen" and he says "bon dia".

 

[Stric]

Buen día is a legit, grammatically correct, although uncommon greeting in Spain. Buen día is also more logical than buenos días to a non-native speaker. Kovačić is not Spanish, so you could understand why he would have a problem knowing the local customs regarding greetings. Also, to me it sounds like he pronounced it more like buon than buen or bon, which is also understandable since he just came from Italy, where you say buongiorno. He said it in Spanish, it just didn't turn out perfect, calm down. Why would he even know how to greet in Catalan?

 

[Flavia]

I hear bon. Really close to the Portuguese pronunciation. It's a minor mistake, and it's funny just because some madrilenos did get mad about that.

Yes, laughable. As if Kovačić secretly learned Catalan and intentionally greeted them in Catalan just out of spite.

Did someone ask him who's the best player in the World yet?

Did someone ask him who's the best player in the World yet?

Yeah!? Can any player enter RM w/o paying homage to HIM?

 

[DonAK]

Yeah!? Can any player enter RM w/o paying homage to HIM?

I'd love it if he gave a diplomatic answer like Di Maria and others did during their time there.

What did Di Maria said?

 

[DonAK]

What did Di Maria said?

Used to say that both Messi and Cristiano are great players, that we're lucky to have two such players in the World etc.

Basically didn't want to say Cristiano is the best even though the media tried to get that out of him for years. Now Di Maria is Messi's team mate, friend too so there's that...

 

[dakt]

Well that might explain why was he thrown out after being most important player in their CL quest.

 

[DonAK]

On another note, whenever he smiles, it reminds me of Joffrey. Got that same creepy, sinister smile.

 

[Hamzah]

We have to buy Pogba now. We need quality and depth for the midfield.

 

[Arfaraza]

Wish him to flourish and prove all these doubters wrong, but barca will always gets the trophies.
