Bernd Schuster would be
perfectly happy if he never saw a referee or a reporter again. The Real Madrid
manager clearly hates every moment of the obligatory press conferences, and
doesn't do much to disguise it. Recre coach Lucas Alcaraz had appeared earlier,
and had criticised referee Muñiz Fernández for not awarding a
penalty against Pepe when he handled in the area, but also for a niggling
string of decisions which went against his side. Up came Bernd, and the obvious
question arose. "Alcaraz criticised the referee, what did you think of him?"
With a sneer he replied "me, just the reverse - of course!". The "what did you
expect me to say, idiot" was silent, but written all over his face. End of
press conference! (25.11.08) |
